No, I’m not the first person to come up with this idea, but hey, I’ve been doing it in classrooms all my life, so why not take it to South By? So here’s my first attempt at conference sketch notes. They’re not quite as schmancy as they could be, and I often stopped to listen when I could’ve been drawing, but whatever.
South by Sunday: High Class vs. Low Class Web Design

While it may not have been the most instructional, or even the most entertaining, the most thought-provoking panel I attended all weekend at SXSW was Chris Fahey’s HIgh Class and Low Class Web Design. On paper alone, I found the subject matter fascinating. In a world where everything around us is designed, we make judgments on quality. There’s “good design” and “bad design.” Maybe it’s not really that, but a case of designing for different tastes, classes, markets. What are we to make of all this? And can we apply what we’ve learned to things beyond web design?
