Brad Frost, R/GA web strategist has suggested the Retina Display of the new iPad will bring a revolution on the web. On his blog in an article, he stated that even if the web is already struggling with bloated downloads; designers would try their best to boost image resolution in order to aid the Retina Display-optimised apps. He further stated that users can be on slow 3G or Wi-Fi while travelling and might need to download some assets so they shouldn’t be punished with the slow download speed of a big Retina-ready image. They need to address this properly. Others have also shown concerns but also acknowledge the opportunity for changes.
ZURB partner Jonathan Smiley thinks web developers would start thinking about the Retina resolutions for sites now but won’t come up with a solution that quickly. He informs that understanding of appropriate media queries, pixel rations, knowledge of options and backend tools to aid in delivering the right content is required for creating a site for the new iPad’s Retina Display. This shows a task that is not that easy!
Jon Hicks, icon artist and designer, added the new iPad would have an effect on the industry particularly on the tools to create such content. He expects to see developers concentrating on making graphic apps produce good optimised SVG, just as the animation tools have built up around CSS animations. Hicks concluded that all the problems of restrictions of creating artwork that works with anti-aliasing and pixel grids no longer exists with high density displays.
