Rather than waste my time venting on stuff that I did not care for, I will shine light on the positive takes from the Future of Web Design conference, 2008 Edition (New York, November 4). I will be a yes man.
First Daniel Mall reminded us that what we use to build-create things online are only vehicles in the same way that cars take us from point A to point B.
Paul Hoag of Headscape besides being the Queen's best friend is on a mission to teach us not just to say when (as Lene Lovich sang) but say Yes to clients and customers rather than fighting with them.
Patrick Haney of Harvard no less is not a sausage and quoted LBJ offering that "we can draw lessons from the past but cannot live in it".
He shares my abhorrence for endless sign up syndrome and poorly designed forms. As for Web Design as Art, we are not talking about technical wizardry but in the eyes of Mike Kus the return of storytelling and online presence as a way to express your identity…
Unfortunately I had to leave the Conference early afternoon. As you can see I still had a nutritious meal…
Thanks to Louise, Ryan and the rest of the team at Carsonified for inviting me.
