Adobe, what’s with the left align?

Adobe.com today got a new look and I like it a lot. The color palette used is very similar to that of Adobe Developer Connection (the new devnet) that was unveiled at MAX. I personally really liked the Developer Connection design when it came out, but there were many who did not care much for it. I think the accordion approach was really neat as it made finding things extremely simple.

I like the new adobe.com design as well but ….. “Adobe, what’s with the left align? Why is your search box so important and needs to be the only thing to the right?” … please center align the site, it will look and feel a lot better.

I have 3 complaints about it, but I do think the accordion is makes things easier to find.

1. I think the animation is way too big, I have a huge monitor and can see the whole page, but I saw others with smaller screen can’t see some of the most important stuff.

2. Isn’t really a complaint for me, but I agree with the peeps saying “why left aligned”?

3. When I first saw it, my browsers were crashing left and right (IE and Firefox)

As far as design goes, the animation is cool. And at least we get HD now
