Podcast 10

This is about making posters. The process of making posters is the almost the same as making a process.

"Posters have to be:
  • Visually attractive in order to grab attention.
  • Easy to take in at a glance
  • Provide more information to the more interested reader

In other words they need to be…

  • Engaging
  • Usable
  • Scanable
  • Have a clear information hierarchy "
The author thinks this is how you should follow these steps to create good website. After reading that I think it's true. Like You need to think of all of those things in the design process. There are some designers who specifically model their websites after a posters. I think that's a smart thing to do especially when you are working on a website that you want to pop and stuff. Or when you are worrying about the fold of a page.

I think that I can try this kind of tactic when designing a site since when I think about it makes a lot of sense.
