HIGHLIGHTS OF SIMONS LIGHTNING TALK
- As a brief summary it is typical that as a creative you will receive content as a lucid set of ingredients. But more than often not you will receive content as a jumble of stuff. By reading and understanding the complexity of the content your supplied you will be able to identify the creative opportunities where your design can add real value.
- Don’t design the unnecessary; design should be focused on bringing content to life. Content should be the backbone throughout the design process. We shouldn’t be designing boxes for any old content to fit into. Even try designing the content itself.
- Think of the end user and make it simple to engage, find, share and enjoy content. Design is not purely about aesthetic its also about the end user.
- It’s safe to assume that we are all learning but as long as your design helps communicate great stories. Content will be King and Design will be always be its most elegant Queen.
