Backtracking: de laatste weken (deel 1)

Nu ben ik misschien terug van vakantie, maar helaas niet ongeschonden. Mijn rechter arm is uit de kom geraakt zaterdag en daar heb ik voorlopig nog de nasleep van. En oja… ik ben rechts.

Good designers / great designers
De presentatie van Cameron Moll “Essential Web Skills” en daaruit komt: “Nine skills that separate good and great designers” (download de presentatie en de podcast).

Good designers: Decorate, Believe ‘less’ is more, Fix problems, Are inspired within a genre, Macrodesign, Treat text as content, Use good typefaces, Code for one instance, Redesign.

Great designers: Communicate, Believe ‘less’ and ‘more’ co-exist, Prevent problems, Are inspired by their total environment, Microdesign, Treat text as UI, Use good typography, Code for many instances, Realign.

Ook op Cameron Moll:
