  • Bad design can be infuriating, inconvenient or damaging in any field.
  • a well-designed Web site needs to deliver the same things as most other examples of good design by fulfilling its intended function efficiently and engagingly.
  • A common mistake is to prioritize style over substance

      An example of this is animation ; though it looks great it takes ages to upload, thus making the visitor furious

  • principal problem with many Web sites is that their designers were neither rigorous nor imaginative enough in planning the way we will navigate them
  • If you find information swiftly and easily on a Web site, its designer has succeeded. But if you need to click on an inordinate number of buttons and links, or dither over what to do next, the designer has failed
  • Amazon’s site scores highly for navigational efficiency, but poorly in terms of the second criterion of good Web design, because it is far from engaging.

  • 2012 was a great year for the “online education” industry. There were a lot of new startups to really help you learn web design. Some of them are: Codecademy Udacity Mozilla Developer Network Udemy Of course, you always have 1stWebDesigner and some of its really amazing articles, such as: Basic Visual Web Design Mistakes Learn Web Design – Quit College (really good advice there, by the way) Call to Action – Web Design Usability

      Resources to start learning HTML/CSS. All free, and all simple for those just starting out with coding.
  • Consistency is the key when getting started with web design. Are you learning everyday? Are you applying whatever new concepts you learn at least three times a week? Learning a little bit everyday is way better than covering a lot of material in just one day of the week.

  • social familiarity
  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity
  • Thanks to the startups and digital entrepreneurs of this last generation, we are all minor league auteurs or videographers, used to framing the shot, creating more drama, working the lighting.

  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured
    • ilana enoukov

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”
    • ilana enoukov
      ilana enoukov on 10 Mar 14
