Some stuff about me (I’m interesting. I think.)
My name is Zaharenia http://sugarenia.com – @sugarenia

The problem
terrainnova.gr/αν-το-περιεχόµενο-είναι- βασιλιάς-το-design-τ/
Αν εποµένως το πιο σηµαντικό είναι το περιεχόµενο σε µια
παρουσία online (...) µήπως το αντίπαλο δέος το οποίο για χάρη συντοµίας θα το πω design πρέπει να είναι αυτό που θα ‘θυσιαστεί’; “ „
Πλέον η ουσία βρίσκεται (...) να βρεθείς µέσω των social
media µπροστά στους χρήστες ή τους καταναλωτές σου (...) Και κανένα design όσο και να λειτουργήσει ως ‘κράχτης’ και όσο καλό και να είναι δεν πρόκειται να βοηθήσει σηµαντικά επ’ αυτού – ειδικά µακροπρόθεσµα. “ „

Everyone. Whom is this presentation for?
This. So what’s your problem anyway?

Pffffft... Wait, tag clouds?
Whut?
Hey, I’ve seen it before... The dreaded Wordpress look
Tight deadlines. Why do we do this?
Tight budgets. Why do we do this?
Laziness. Why do we do this?
Let’s change this.
Art Direction The elephant in the room
alistapart.com/articles/art-direction-and-design
Art direction brings clarity and definition to our work; it
helps our work convey a specific message to a particular group of people. “ „
This is not your aunt’s travel blog...
...and this is not a pharmacy website.
Design Research You. Need. It.
Moodboards Capture the mood of the website
viget.com/inspire/perspectives-on-mood-boards
The purpose of a mood board is to set the
tone & style of a design effort, without the distraction of flow and architecture. “ „

Use whatever suits you OneNote, Curio, Photoshop, LittleSnapper...
Best-sellers? Stay away. So generic it hurts
(Plus they all look alike)

Don’t copy. Not too much anyway
Almost 89,2% of tutorial sites looks like PsdTuts or Smashing
Magazine. – Me
Frankly, it gets boring.
None

None
No more magazines. Especially when you don’t have content
It will show.

Recap time! (This is what you should write down)
Don’t Wordpress look Marketplace best-sellers Magazine themes without content
Do Design research Minimalism & personality Lean ’n’ mean original
themes
No more of this. Don’t make me spank you.
Thank you! You’re cool. Zaharenia Atzitzikaki UI designer http://sugarenia.com @sugarenia
