Choosing a website design (Stuff)
23rd Sep. 2004
Rather interesting analogy - though a bit far removed for those of us living in the greyness of urban Aisa.
"The relationship between design and information is similar to that of landscaping and gardening - you are essentially working with the same material but are applying established principles to deliver a superior result.
The challenges presented in transforming a plain enclosure into a delightful garden, similarly, are not unlike those of turning images and information into an online experience.
While not wanting to belabour the analogy, landscaped gardens and immersible websites share another important characteristic - they are planned to be experiences, not simply places to display plants or information."
