Power to designers
Posted on 04.01.09 by Alexandre Maron @ 06:43

Design is an absolutely relevant part of any product. I feel that launching a media product without design is like going to an UFC competition without any training at all. You will have you ass kicked big time. Well, even with training you can get your ass kicked. But i digress.

Off course that bad content with good design is just a ruse. But it’s almost the same thing the other way around: good content with bad design is just content that will not be seen. Good design influences (or at least should) everything in your product. It is part of that idea of asking your audience to a dance.

But enough of me, for now. We will have plenty of time to talk further about design in the near future. Just take a look at this video from TED talks:

Hi, my name is Alexandre Maron. PlayFactor gathers my research and random ideas about the use of play concepts to make your product (be it a newspaper, a magazine or just your company website) engaging for the right audience. To do that, I will talk about interaction and game design, community management and all that crazy stuff that make your head spin. It will be a lot of fun.
