Untangling the Web

After an afternoon shift at the shop, I popped into town to attend the June meeting of the Untangle the Web meetup group at the Google campus.

The first presentation was by David Little regarding the techniques used in user-centred web design. In particular, he emphasised the research and testing by users.

The second presentation was by Laura Kalbag and was about web design theory:


Actually, it was mostly about typography, a subject close to my heart, and was really informative. I'd never really thought too much about the differences within the different types (serif/sans/script) before, but Laura demonstrated her points very well, in particular that font cannot be separated from page content and that Lorem Ipsum is best not used at all for this reason.
