Design is very important to me, so I take comments about my site design very seriously. I accept that as a designer, one cannot please everyone, for, design is very personal, and many non-designers measure the rules of design against what they know, or against what they have been told.<\/p>\n
Today there are many outrageous acts of poor design happening from what we read in some magazines and books, to what we watch on Television. I find nothing more annoying than the pop-up animated teasers that occur in the corner of the screen during a movie, or the ‘bug’ of a network logo remaining on-screen the entire time I am experiencing the entertainment.<\/p>\n
What we should focus on is the ‘experience’, not the ‘rules of print-on-paper’ today, for each has a set of different rules. Rules which change as technology moves forward. First, about print and paper: Some of you have read me wrong, I LOVE print on paper, but yes, I do think it is going away. Maybe not in our lifetime, but certainly in a few. Right now, I like the feel and non-techyness of paper, but…..a big but…….it’s going away, whether you like it or not. Not because people don’t like it, it’s going away because it isn’t profitable.<\/p>\n
