Tried showing my portfolio on a phone at a coffee shop, got blank stares
Found out last weekend that none of my mockups scale down past 1024px wide. Has anyone else had to rebuild their whole presentation for mobile?

Blank stares" is rough. Gotta make those mockups thumb-friendly.

The 48px rule from Google is a good starting point, but I've found it really depends on the user's age. My mother in her 70s needs at least 60px targets or she misses every time. @adams82 you're spot on about thumb-friendly being the real test. People hold their phones in different ways and that changes everything. Left thumb users especially struggle with right-side buttons no matter how big they are. I think the blank stare comes from frustration not confusion half the time.
