Jason Santa Maria lecture

Swissmiss highlighted Jason Santa Maria's lecture at SVA regarding print vs. web design. The lecture is quite interesting. First, Jason focuses on the nature of print design and how magazine and newspaper layouts are generally much more inspired and interesting than their web versions. Next, he explores the web medium and the particular problems it poses, such as the fact that designers don't know where the site will be viewed (on a computer, iPhone, or Kindle); cannot be sure how the page will be displayed (font sizes, etc. can differ on different computers); and cannot count on the chronological aspect that books and magazines provide. Finally, Jason highlights how he has attempted to bring techniques of print design to his own web design style, focusing on his personal website, jasonsantamaria.com. I definitely recommend listening to the lecture, as it certainly pertains to Interactive Design, as well as design as a whole.
