Here’s the third of several excerpts from my @Media The Process Toolbox presentation. As we all know, “If You Build It, they won’t necessarily come”. So, with the backbone in place, and collaboration established, it’s now time to define the audience.
This is the second of several excerpts from The Process Toolbox that I presented at the 5th @Media conference. In this post, I want to discuss collaboration. It’s hard to think of this as a “tool”, as it is more akin to common sense and efficiency, but so much of what we do relies on it.
Last year, I presented The Process Toolbox at the 5th @Media conference at London’s South Bank Centre. Over the course of fifty minutes I detailed a number of methods that can ensure a project runs smoothly. Since then, a number of people have asked for a transcript to accompany the slides, so I’m doing just that. Here’s part one, originally posted over on Erskine Labs.
What follows is a frankly massive essay in note form. These are the notes I made to justify the aims of Bauhaus Ideology and the Future of Web Design—a presentation I did for the FOWD Tour in Leeds, September 2009. Thus, there is a vast array of ideas, conclusions and speculations with regard to the future of our industry. Take it with a pinch of salt, and think of this as a conversation, and not a manifesto.
For two years—and with much embarrassment, I have been apologising for my undesigned blog. Well, no more shall I blush. To mark this fourth redesign and rebuild, I’ve decided to detail my inspiration, ideas, processes, type and design choices—and hopefully explain what this miscellany thing is all about.
Nice people sometimes ask where the videos of my talks are. Well, most of my presentations have not been recorded, were screwed up during recording, are being sat on by the organisers, or were recorded in the dark without a mic.
I can’t wait any longer. It has taken me over a week to collate all that follows, with videos, slides, images and reports still appearing day by day. I’m channeling my enthusiasm and pooling almost everything from the last two weeks into this post for your pleasure.
In early 2006, a book called CSS Mastery was published. Written expertly by Andy, it also featured case studies from Cameron and myself, plus a foreword from Dan.
Last week I was invited to do a video interview with Ryan for his please start from the beginning series.
The almost-annual Geek In The Park get-together takes place this Saturday (15th August) in Leamington Spa. I will be hammering on about Nailing Your Own Projects, and Remy will be probing HTML5 and Friends. If you can make it, we’d all love to see you, even if - like my good self - you hate the idea of being a “geek”. Still, it trumps “nerd”. Or “spod”.
