Comments on: Andy Clarke — Inspired design http://www.webdirections.org/notes/andy-clarke-inspired-design/ Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:54:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: WD06 - Day 4 Musings at Mad Web Bloghttp://www.webdirections.org/notes/andy-clarke-inspired-design/comment-page-1/#comment-192 WD06 - Day 4 Musings at Mad Web Blog Mon, 23 Oct 2006 13:02:46 +0000 http://westciv.com/webdirections08/blog/andy-clarke-%e2%80%93-creating-inspired-design/#comment-192 [...] Andy Clarke gave an inspirational speech about looking beyond the header/sidebar/content/footer layouts we’ve all used a million times before, and to look for our muse everywhere. The print world continually strives for originality, and while it is less restricted than us webby folk, we should try not to limit ourselves to simply doing what we’ve always done. Take influence from magazines, not just for layout and colour schemes, but also the little things often overlooked, like sidebars, clip-out forms, photographs and product lists.There was one point that Andy made that I disagreed with. He said that he preferred Ma.gnolia.com to Del.icio.us for his social bookmarking needs, purely on the visual design. I don’t know if it was a statement about form over function, or maybe Ma.gnolia works better for the way he uses social bookmarking apps, or maybe it’s just a personal preference between two similarly functioning web apps. Maybe, and its entirely possible, but maybe I just missed the point.

Or perhaps you could write Hansard :)Thanks so much for this, I am really disappointed to be missing just about everything but this way I get to get the gist of the presentations (and read my husband's quips before he recounts them to me in triumph later) Andrew, if the web development gig doesn’t work out for you you’d be an excellent court stenographer!
