WORKFLOW  STEPHEN HAY . MOBILISM AMSTERDAM 20120511
SOME ASPECTS OF OUR WORK ARE DECIDEDLY


UNSEXY(AND WORKFLOW IS ONE OF THEM)
Technology is advancing constantly.
We’re starting to design for multiple platforms.
We’re learning & using new tech all the time.
Web design workflow generally remains unchanged.

The answer is to design from the bottom up,

FROM THE CONTENT OUT.
Content and form are lovers,


THEIR LOVE-CHILD IS DESIGN
MUCH DESIGN DECISIONMAKING IS BASED ON


TECH   THIS IS A BAD THING.

“One technique I've used for
 years is to 'design in text'… not
 necessarily describing
 everything in textual form[…]”

                                 — BRYAN RIEGER
“(which usually results in docs
 sounding oddly creepy, '–it puts
 the lotion on it's skin!')[…]”

                                  — BRYAN RIEGER
“essentially what is the message
 that needs to be communicated
 if I was ONLY able to provide
 the user with unstyled HTML?”

                               — BRYAN RIEGER

Properly structured content is portable
to future platforms.

ANY STEP WE ADD TO THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RUIN EVERYTHING,
SO CHOOSE WISELY.
