Maybe what we call Responsive Design today isn’t that new after all. Wouldn’t have noticed it myself – maybe i was already too much in the “CD-Generation” – but it shows again that most of the fancy new stuff had been there before, in some way or another.
In some ways, this felt like an early form of what we might now call responsive design. Over time, designers adapted to the new formats, and came up with a process that took that into account. They had less control over things like the aspect ratio, and that forced them to work harder and more flexibly.
