Modular Content for Multiple Contexts
(Responsive)
New Approach:
Mobile first.
Start with something simple. Treat everything else as an
enhancement.
Old Approach:
Desktop first.
Start with something complex.
Shrink it till it breaks, then fix it.
User Interface Metaphors
(“Flat” design)
Old Approach:
“Skeuomorphic”
Make it resemblethe real thing
New Approach:
“Flat”
Clean as possible, whilestill signifying use

History repeating
What hasn’t changed
• Usable, Desirable, Accessible…
• Visibility – Perceived affordances or signifiers of what to do
• Consistency – following standards and conventions
• Feedback – Clarity that the action is taking place
• Non-destructive operations – ability to go back, ability to undo
Where do we go from here?
