Here's a question for #designers in general but #Web specifically: Does the current world unrest influence how you design in terms of color, shape, influence, inspiration etc. as in past troubled times? If so, care to share? #webdesign #web #design

Wow. Not a direction I expected! Yikies.

I’ve read it several times in recent weeks. It’s an article that makes me pause for thought.

It makes sense. Corporate design is meant typically to be strong, solid and lasting. Climate Change is none of those. These things need to be talked about sooner than later as messaging matters always!

So if that is agreed upon, how could we approach a person with their heads in the sand about Climate Change (and likely most science)? Interesting design challenge!

It’s an interesting dilemma. The article made me think about my own inclination to approach the visual presentation of data in a crisp, clear way - and potentially and somewhat ignorantly set it up to be ignored!

It made me wonder about other areas where we (designers) attempt to present data so it’s easier to digest... but struggle to convince the audience to act on that info in a meaningful way.

Those are excellent wonderings. I'm glad you think deeply about these things as I don't see that as a norm on general public sites.

The question you posed earlier, reminded me that I was unsettled by that article. I think I tend to assume my design work is interpreted through the same lens in which it was created... and I’m affected with myopia! 😅

When that happens to me, I walk away from the computer and go outside or splatter paint or do anything else but. Fresh eyes.
