New Imagemakers Website..

Well, its taken just  a few short weeks to completely re-work the way our website was built. Why did we do it? Well, this has enabled us to use a ground breaking, open-ended system that gives us unprecedented control from a content management system and sparks a new way for us to deliver stunning, easily managed and  fully integrated social media focussed websites to our clients. Not only this, but the sheer power ‘under the bonnet’ means we have a fully web 2.0 compatible site that can be updated and managed by anyone with simple word processing skills...

All the right notes: Part Three

What’s in the design? Aside from the practicalities of colour contrast, font types and sizes and physical parameters such as reach ranges, cones of vision etc. your visitor communication will stand or fall on the basis of how well you consider the following: Layering – for example, using a range of different media (e.g. panels, audio trail, visitor centre touchscreen interactive) to communicate the same message. Hierarchy – this refers to the arrangement of information in a logical and intuitive manner. On a panel, for example, there should be a single, relevant...

So, I’m being asked “What does The Dip have to do with interpretation design?” My answer is “everything”. The choices we make coming out of The Dip will dictate the quality of our “art”.

Sometimes we hit the wall. Sometimes there seems no way out. Sometimes we feel as though the demands placed on us seem too much to handle. This is what author Seth Godin calls “The Dip”.
