As designers, we manipulate all that is available to us, aiming to present ideas in a visually engaging form. But what are our motives, and why do we go in a particular direction? Why do great designers have the courage to do things a certain way, and succeed?
Simon will explore how web designers can improve their thought processes by stepping away from the browser, and in turn bring clearer, well-reasoned thinking back into their work. He’ll introduce established and new ways of thinking, and key points of influence that can assist with any web design process.
3. This presentation is not about...
HTML & CSS
JQUERY
PHOTOSHOPbecause these are just enablers
4. The screen brings with it different kinds of
challenges for visual design, some of which
occur exclusively in interactive media.
It’s unrealistic to think our old methods can
fill in all the gaps, but new interaction
patterns and visual languages emerge
everyday.
These are the building blocks for our new
design principles.
