Why I don’t do what I like to look at… If you want my angels, you get my devils too…
Design magazines will turn your brain to oatmeal… But your eyes will enjoy it, right ‘till the end…
Good ≠ “simple”
What is simple should be treated simply, what is difficult should be reduced to the simplest terms. Josef Muller-Brockmann
Staying out of the user’s way
Site “life cycles” and design
Mature sites reflect their complexity
The “marketplace” The comfort of choice and complexity
Design isn’t simply a matter of taste…
The Web in context The Web is a new medium in an old context Respect communication precedents THE WEB CHANGES EVERYTHING – NOT!

Design as rhetoric
Design as rhetorical persuasion • Ethos – Is the speaker credible & trustworthy? • Pathos – Passions of the audience – Intuitive; does message “feel right? ” • Logos – Does the message make sense?
Color as rhetoric • Ethos – Is the color credible & trustworthy? • Pathos – Customs & expectations of audience – Red & bankers; blue and physicians • Logos – Does the color design reinforce the message or interfere with it?

Energy wins every time… • Concept – What’s the idea; said to whom? • Context – What medium; what situation? • Contrast – Graphic design is managing contrast
For most of your audience, you are your Web site.
