10 things never to leave out of a web design brief
Feb 25, 2010 | Source: boagworld.com |
A nice primer on developing a project brief or RFP for a website.
"Some agencies like to receive a brief that gives a steer as to the feeling, tone and style of a creative project. Others are far more concerned with the minutiae. And some prefer to write their own briefs based on a consultation with the client.
There is no right and wrong way to draw up a brief, save for the fact that good briefs will provide clear and detailed guidance to an agency, and in doing so produce good results. Bad briefs will do the reverse, wasting time and money and no doubt fraying nerves and tempers to varying degrees."
A Layperson's Guide to Graphic Design
Aug 28, 2008 | Source: Design Observer |
Considering graphic design's ubiquity in modern life, I'm not sure that many people (non-designers that is) understand much about it. It's something that people encounter every day - perhaps every minute of their waking lives - yet they hardly bother to consider the impact, either for good or bad, that it has on their lives. It's a subject that means a great deal to the people who do it for a living, but rarely means much to the people it's aimed at.

Xerox Gets a Brand Makeover
Jan 7, 2008 | Source: BusinessWeek: Marketing |
When I worked at Siegel & Gale in the early 1980s, one of my favorite projects was being part of the design team that was working on the relaunch of the Xerox brand. My role was designing the documentation for a project code named "Arthur". It was one of the first personal computers–and at the time–an unbelievable opportunity. Quarterly, we met with the extended Xerox design team from other studios from across the country, the likes of which included Massimo Vignelli and Michael Bierut. Others were designing the identity, the products themselves and the advertising agency was planning the product line launch. As a young designer, it was a thrill to watch how these experienced "brand experts" worked together.
So, I’ve always kept my eye on Xerox. Here is the latest brand renewal.
Javascript In Modern Web Design

Javascript is becoming an increasingly important part of building a functional and engaging standards-based web site. The CSS takeover has been all about building accessible sites with cross-platform functionality (read: the opposite of Flash sites), but with the advent of Javascript frameworks like JQuery, we can have our cake and eat it, too. See how designers can implement Flash-like interactive components in a way that will even work on Internet Explorer 6!

Every year over the past decade, BusinessWeek and Interbrand have partnered to evaluate and choose the best brands of the year. Increasingly, establishing, creating and maintaining brand value has moved to the forefront of business planning for many corporate leaders today. We are often asked to help clients either establish a new brand, or refresh an existing brand. We help our clients to understand the differences between creating a corporate identity (which may only involve establishing a consistent look and feel), to communicating their unique value proposition and message to a targeted market. This year, trust and credibility are two of the hot topics. Read about how the 100 Best Global Brands are measured and ranked.
