I must be the only one who doesn't like Flickr's redesign. Sure, there's some good benefits from it, but...
- The lines and colors are harsh
- The grids on the single image view separate the page in non-equal thirds which feels awkward
- A lot of the data elements just run together without labels or any indication that they're links: http://i.imgur.com/Szy3Y7Z.png
- In 2013, I'm a bit shocked that the site isn't responsive, even if they do have a good mobile app: http://i.imgur.com/OMiqoZs.png
Everything else is okay, but only because they didn't actually redesign the majority of the site. Go to your groups, stats, etc. and you still see the nicely organized old Flickr. I'm a fairly active user and usually a big fan of redesigns and changes, but I don't see myself using it much now.
The reactions on the Flickr forums are heavily weighted against the redesign as well. There are lots of little problems I noticed (the links to fullscreen images on my feed would fullscreen a different image - fixed now), and hopefully they can run the problems down over the next few weeks. I'm equally aghast that their mobile website hasn't changed - come on guys. Overall, though, I really like it. I think it's a much more attractive public face.
