This year I was honoured to be given the opportunity to speak at OZ-IA 2009. I will also be speaking at the Edge of the Web 2009 in November for the first time, right after the keynote, talk about pressure!
The following is my initial transcript of my presentation at OZ-IA 2009, The Art of Skywriting – The Demise of the Tag Cloud.
Now it’s not going to be word for word the same as the audio recording, but you’ll get the idea. As usual it’s also available on Slideshare along with all my other presentations, distributed under creative commons license. Soon as I have the audio I will sync it with the slides to make it easier to understand – promise.

Now that two big conferences are out of the way, it’s back to the 5 x 5 interview series of presenters speaking at the Edge of the Web conference. This time in my fourth interview I’m talking with Simon Pascal Klein, Pascal is presenting on Beautiful Web Typography at the Edge of the Web conference in Perth, Western Australia next month – eeep! is it that close, less that 4 weeks away!
He is a self confessed standardista front end and graphic designer, who is equally at home in the world of print. He is currently based in Canberra.
This is the presentation given on Wednesday 24th June 2009 to the Perth Branch of the Silverlight Developer and Designer Network. The slidedeck isn’t going to make much sense without the transcript below. Just be aware of that if you are slide deck with out following with this transcripts.
Let’s ground this a little and get real before we even start.
To often we design web sites and applications with a limited amount of information and specifications as to what is really is required. It’s a fact. Let’s not stand around and pretend otherwise.

If you have read as many web design books as I have you find that they fall into basically two categories:
- The ones in which the author waxes on about how wonderful they are at design, show off page after page of their own portfolio. The entire book becomes a publicity fest.
- Then there is the type of book that is presented in a level headed manner, it is a great reference of the step by step process that web designers go through to product a web site.
