After a last minute trip to Argos to pick up an emergency iPhone charging lead (doh!), I arrived after the start of the Future of Web Design, London 2009 to hear some of Jim Coudal (of Coudal Partners) gave the Keynote Address.
He made some interesting points that I picked up on that and one that I can particularly associate with. Briefly, they were:
- The future of web design might be in the past. With browser vendors now starting to go all standards (*cough* IE still crap*) it may soon be possible in the future to design our content before the days of websites. To take more from print design.
- Short attention spans are good - encourage it in your design colleagues. It can help us to find other passions from other media. He then showed us this video which is quite funny.
- One of the reasons why you like design, is when you get that flash of passion and inspiration when solving a design problem or coming up with something cool. That’s the addiction. Nee
