Web Design in 4 Dimensions Marientina Gotsis
Web Design: A Brief History • Information organization for quick indexing purposes. Search Engine Style Design
Browser Wars: The Aftermath • Mosaic, Explorer, Netscape
Web Design: A Brief History • Interface Design • Image Formats • Multimedia • Scripting • Plug-ins
Designers Take Control • The blue hyperlinks get a face-lift and a new market opens: • “Desperately Seeking Web Designers”
Print vs Web = The Trap • Design firms use print trained people for web design. • The end result? • The wish to control goes out of control. • Enter: CSS • Design Nazi Syndrome
Escaping The Layout • Yes, it’s a web page but really…it’s on your monitor. It can change with the click of a mouse. It can look different from computer to computer and from one platform to the other.
Out Of Control • A new generation of web design emerges: • Introduction of technology that makes things move (blinking and scrolling banners don’t count) and sound goes live.
The Present • Live Audio. Live Video. Streaming animation. Dynamic HTML. Interactive Animation. VR technology. • Animated mailbox goodbye!
