What Does Rich Mean? - Boxes and Arrows: The design behind the design

  • Before delving into notions about richness, it is critical to acknowledge the core challenge of designing rich experiences. Designers face an ongoing battle for human attention across the digital landscape—from websites and desktop applications, to mobile devices and beyond.
  • It is useful to briefly remind ourselves that richness existed long before computers. Just think back to the last dinner you enjoyed with friends or family, complete with a delicious meal, aromatic wine, and sumptuous dessert. That moment exemplified a rich experience. The exchange of ideas, the multi-sensory objects, and the choreography from the arrival at the restaurant, to the waiter’s performance and the food’s presentation, all contributed to a sense of richness. This example and others like it can be a powerful remedy to hype-driven attempts at designing for richness.

Layout Gala: a collection of 40 CSS layouts based on the same markup and ready for download!

  • In November 2005 I presented on pro.html.it
    a three-part article on creating CSS layouts using techniques like negative
    margins
    , any
    order columns
    and in some case opposite floats. The main goal of the
    article was getting the maximum number of layouts based on the same markup,
    each with valid CSS and HTML, without hacks nor workaround and a good cross-browser
    compatibility. The result is a set of 40 layouts that we've thought worth
    sharing: on each of them you'll find also a download link (if you want,
    you can download the entire collection, 40 HTML pages in a single zip file).
    Further details can be found below the gallery.
