The Invisible Side of Design

Conference talk at beyond tellerrand

Designers tend to get distracted by the aesthetics of what they create and often pay too little attention to the other, invisible side of their work. In this talk from beyond tellerrand 2012, Vitaly Friedman, editor-in-chief of Smashing Magazine, discusses the significance of purpose, substance and context in design decisions.

He argues for the value of storytelling, content strategy and thorough editorial work, and offers practical examples of, and insights into, the invisible side of design.
