Comment on The Un-Usability of Media Products by JeremyGilbert

I’m not surprised that you never received a satisfactory answer. Even in my most success projects I’ve often heard a verbal push for innovation… followed by list requirements that mandate a mediocre already existing path. I think Jesse James Garrett was correct that it is critical for all the stake holders — producers and users — to understand the story a product is trying to tell.

Yeah, I’ve been working for newspaper companies for years and have presented several simplified designs and never was able to get them accepted.

By the time all the stakeholders were satisfied it looked like every other newspaper site.

And they liked that. It made them feel comfortable. And the cluttered look made then feel they as much depth as their competitors.

I used to ask a question for which I’ve never gotten a decent answer. Rarely an answer at all.

“Why,” I asked, “are we copying the sites that we all know are struggling to get it right? Why aren’t we copying the guys we all know are getting it right?”

Agreed, I have some ideas about how to tie this back to my final project, but that will take a little doing. Perhaps this week’s post will show some progress.

Good thinking happening here… now, start connecting it back to the idea(s) that you’ll be working on for your final project.

I agree Nancy. Well stated.

By the way Jeremy, I really like the design of your website, but then I wouldn’t expect anything less than an amazing design from you.

What an apt analogy, I found the application magical myself.

I think the country will have to worry as well as the Times. If we do not have skilled reporters objectively covering the world because we are unwilling to pay their salaries, we will have no accurate information by which to judge our leaders in government or business.
