  • 5 Tips to Tell a Story Through Web Design – Layers of Engagement

    “Stories are one the most pow­er­ful tools – to edu­cate, enter­tain and teach moral val­ues. It’s the best way to get lost in anoth­er time, place, or world – whether it is fan­ta­sy or real. Whether it be a sto­ry passed on from gen­er­a­tion to gen­er­a­tion, or some­thing that is writ­ten down in the form of a book or an arti­cle – sto­ries are a moti­vat­ing and influ­en­tial way of com­mu­ni­cat­ing a message.

    When it comes to design­ing a web site, telling a sto­ry through dif­fer­ent lay­ers is a con­struc­tive prin­ci­pal to apply. Through sto­ry­telling, we are able to engage peo­ple and make them lis­ten. We take a look at dif­fer­ent ways to incor­po­rate sto­ry­telling into your web design, and how it will help com­mu­ni­cate your mes­sage (and brand!) effectively.”

  • Making the Move to Interactive Design: Experience Over Aesthetics

    “Joel Beukelman, inter­ac­tion design­er at Google, has cre­at­ed a great video titled “Design for Experience – Not Aesthetics.” The video is a call-to-action of sorts about the truth of design­ing for expe­ri­ence and not aes­thet­ics or visu­als. He states that “the pre­ferred aes­thet­ic style should fol­low the UX design … not dic­tate it.”
