No. 32 “Pixel-perfect.”
Translation
every detail exactly where it belongs.
One pixel off looks like nothing. Add up enough of them & a screen feels a little off, even if no one can say why.
The goal is care, not obsession.

Where it comes from
“Pixel” is short for picture element. Frederic Billingsley of NASA’s JPL published it in 1965, for photos from space probes.
Nobody knows who first said “pixel-perfect.” It became designer slang once screens took over & 1 pixel really could be seen.
- Wikipedia, “Pixel” (Billingsley, JPL, 1965)
