BBC's new look points web design back to print and video
Reading the fascinating and laudably open post from the BBC's Head of Design and User Experience, Bronwyn van der Merwe, it struck me that the new trend in web design seems to be more towards reclaiming techniques and style from print and video, getting us past the boxy conventions of the last ten years on the web.
On a similar theme, the Adobe/Wired interactive prototype shows this inclination too, but coming from the magazine angle back towards digital.
With devices such as the iPad around the corner, along with higher definition screens, web design as we know it is about to evolve once more, bringing users higher fidelity content and designers more creative power.
One of the more telling lines from van der Merwe's article was this: "We've lived with and loved the distinctly 'web 2.0' design for a while now and it's done us proud. However, time's moved on..."
When the BBC says they're moving on from 'web 2.0' design, it's really happening.
