Vernacular Web民间网页(Vernacular Web)

This is Pixel Art because…这是 Pixel Art,因为……

This is Pixel Art because the retro look is constructed with pixel precision — a limited fixed palette, stair-stepped un-antialiased edges, bitmap type, and game controls like HP bars and dialog boxes; it is deliberate game art, not default browser output.

这是像素艺术,因为它的复古外观是以像素级精度构造出来的 —— 有限的固定色板、无抗锯齿的阶梯边缘、位图字体、血条和对话框这类游戏控件;它是刻意的游戏美术,不是浏览器的默认输出。

It would become Vernacular Web if…如果……就变成 Vernacular Web 了

It would become the Vernacular Web if the pixel craft were dropped in favor of whatever the browser and a GIF collection gave you — default blue links, Times text, tiled wallpaper, a visitor counter — a page decorated by an amateur rather than drawn by an artist.

如果丢掉像素手艺,浏览器和 GIF 素材库给什么就用什么 —— 默认蓝链接、Times 字体、平铺壁纸、访客计数器 —— 变成业余爱好者装饰出来的页面,而不是美术师画出来的页面,就变成民间网页了。
