Content vs Design
I’m working away on the executive summary of our first product (coming out early next month). I’m planning to display the summary as a mini slideshow – so I started with some paper-based sketches.
Converting these half dozen A4-sized papers into a cohesive online presentation is a real challenge. It’s easy to focus on font sizes, colors and spacing too early on.
It’s classic Content vs Design. You think that the page doesn’t look right because your fonts are 2px off.
But it’s usually not the font size – it’s your content. Get the content right and the rest comes together.
So.. I’m off to get the content right. 🙂
