About this Episode

For this episode we discuss a post by Wells Riley titled “Less Aesthetic, More Design“. Let’s start off with his pull quote from the post:

Talk about “Flat Design” has exploded over the last two or three weeks. It’s almost become as much of a meme as Skeuomorphism became a few months ago. There’s a critical piece of this discussion missing – that’s got to stop.

So what’s the difference between “design” and an “aesthetic”. It’s all in your approach and what’s at the core of what you’re trying to communicate or accomplish. Let’s find out how we can apply an aesthetic like “flat design” or “skeuomorphism” to our design. Are you with us?

About this Episode

We may just have gone off the deep end over the Windows 8 swipe to login screen and other gripes about the OS. It was a fun discussion thought. Maybe you’ll get something out of it.

About this Episode

In a previous interview we did with Josh Clark (globalmoxie.com) he talked about the idea that people actually like, respect and will use things that are complex as long as we don’t make them complicated. It’s a fine line indeed, maybe we’re on to something here with this idea. What do you think?

About this Episode

When Gene was on the BizCraft + Shoptalk Show crossover episode with Chris Coyer and Dave Rupert, he asked “Why use Sass?”. While we’d love to get Chris and Dave on Draft to discuss that very topic, we decided to take a shot here in episode 15.

About this Episode

We talked briefly with Shaun Inman (@shauninman) about his process when he’s making video games. It’s a lot like the way some more “forward working” people are designing websites “in the browser”. We discuss our own views on this technique and talk through his.

About this Episode

After an interview we did with Kristina Halvorson (@halvorson) talking about “content first” and how that works. We got to discussing more in depth here and thought we’d bring a part of it in for the show here.
