Skillswap April: report: Web design

May 3, 2007 – 10:38 am

Another fine turnout, excellent crowd and brilliant presentation. I love it when people get together and share what they know. From Dan’s description:

Human experience is an emotional, experiential and multi-varied thing (Hence complex). Current Web Design (and by this I don’t mean the graphic design of the web) and that thing that gets called Web 2.0 is trying to build the web to support these people. However in many cases they are trying to produce the complexity within the system and reduce the human experience of the system. Also a lot of the sites being built are clean and mechanical. I believe that the experience of the system should be human, and that the complexity should be left up to the humans. Simply put, simple tools, humans are the glue and build emotion into the system so that it can be engaged with on many levels.
