NPR’s David Wright: Design Is How It Works
“It’s not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works.” — Steve Jobs.
Come hear David Wright, the digital design director for NPR, talk about designing the storytelling experience. Here’s the description of the talk, a hit at this year’s annual ONA conference in San Francisco:
Companies like Apple and IDEO have demonstrated the role that design thinking plays in the creation of revolutionary, game-changing products. Yet even in 2012, news design is experiencing a great stagnation: too often, our products and platforms feel more like 2006. Learn strategies to show how design thinking can actually create efficiencies in a product development process that will always be strapped for time.
