Khoi Vinh’s Presentation

24Jan08

AFTER WATCHING HIS PRESENTATION ON CONTROL; It was primarily a comparison between print and web design, as well as the comparison and importance of becoming more web savvy. I feel that as a beginning designer I have always understood a great difference between print and web design, however I couldn’t explain the differences without telling you the obvious typeface restrictions, and other novice statements. I now see the specifics into the differences of control, and the perspective a designer can take on it.

I was intrigued by the commentary on conversation, and how primarily it can be seen as a teacher/student relationship as far as the dialog goes, but Vinh’s statement on how the conversation comes between the generalists, with the addition of the ‘teacher’ figure, and I feel that it creates a perfect blend for communication. The ’subordinate roll’ for traditional designers was interesting as well, as I can see a difficulty in a designer who’s seemingly being stripped of their control. However, I see web design as being multiple levels of print, with multiple states to consider. The 2-d print page is now a living breathing thing, with numerous considerations to make.
