Designers Create Coherent Experiences
October 21st, 2007 by noelperlasHere’s a nice post over at one of my favorite blogs, 37signal’s SVN.
They answer the question: “Do I need a designer..?” And I love how they answer it:
“… start thinking of them [web designers] as someone who decides what goes where, which form elements to use, how to split features between screens, what words to use, and how everything fits together in a coherent experience. “
Yes, I couldn’t have put it more perfectly: designers (like me) create coherent experiences. I remember reading a post a while back from one of the interaction-ivrea students (if you’re reading this please tell me where that link went), she said that designers synthesize. They [designers] process multiple inputs of information and translate it to an understandable (and pleasant) product/service/experience. I deal with new technologies or multitude product features in some of my projects, my goal is always to hide the complexity from the users and show only the necessary ones… Or making them simpler.
Internet marketing has taken prime position among the different marketing fields especially online marketing. A large number of advertising agencies are providing services of email marketing and search engine marketing. With the development of internet marketing affiliate marketing concept has developed as well. Now dayís people are looking for domain names related to their businesses and studying domain register review in order to advertise their business online in better way. While on the other, trend of using wireless devices like wireless webcam is developing. Small business owners and individuals are switching to wireless a system thatís why demand for verizon wireless devices is very high.
