FOWD: Getting Your Designs Approved: 12 Simple Rules

Hi Larissa, really enjoyed your session. Think it will be of great help for my personal future in webdesign. Personally I liked John Hicks’ session from Design to Deployment the most. But the rice for most entertaining slideshow has to go to Steve Pearce in my humble opinion. Actually enjoyed all the sessions, except the car modelling ones.

Now I’m looking forward to the workshops tomorrow

Great Presentation verry interesting thoughts in it. Hope to learn more tomorrow at the workshop..

Hi Larissa,
Hello From The Sunny Cairo, i wish if you could upload it on Youtube or any other website so we can see it all over the world.

Looking forward to see your presentation.

Thanksalot,
Mohammed

Your presentation was really interesting and thorough. My only negative was the fact I couldn’t get enough notes from your presentation. Is there any chance of you uploading the presentation for those of us who weren’t quick enough with our fingers?

Personally, I got quite a lot of information out of Paul Farnell and Dan Burka and also found Steve’s presentation engrossing. It must have taken him a while to get all those animations together.

Well done on a job well done though. Hopefully we’ll see much more of you in ol’ Blighty in the future?

HI Larissa… is there any possibilities of having your presentation uploaded to youtube or something?

Hi there, just to drop you a note if I can . I atended your workshop yesterday and I must say it was really nice. Loved the comparisson between art and art history and our web designs and I totaly agree on the trends for the future. Retro will definitely be the design trend of the future (at least for couple of months ).

Hi Larissa,
thanks for the really nice presentation you did. I really enjoyed your workshop as well. It was nice to see the mapping between art- and web-isms.
Like you said there is always some kind of iteration in the kind of influences. Depending on the medium those iterations take a longer period of time like for example paintings and architecture those periods can take 100+ years but than as we look to fashion those iteration periods take far less time (20,30 years). Then to port this to web-design where we speak in periods of 1 year and less, the iteration are served to us at speed tempo.
I think we are at the birth of a new influence now because I think that at the speed we iterate on the existing influence there is a need to have a longer period (like in art) of art stability. What’s your thought on this.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback everyone! FOWD will post slides on their site soon and I will post to slideshare within the next few days as well.

Thanks for the presentation. I work at a German agency and we run into the typical client trouble all the time. Your list will come in handy in the future. Kinda lika a checklist to see what we can work on with the client.

My fav of the day was Andy Budd’s presentation about designing the user experience curve. It was the perfect combination of theory and practice. And it opened my horizon quite a bit. Always love it when somebody does that.

Hi Larissa,
Actually I felt that a lot of the talks were aimed at a fairly low level of design knowledge, so yours really stood out as giving useful advice for design professionals.
You briefly mentioned usng on-line apps for presentations or sign-off, and was wondering whether you would care to mention any by URL? I haven’t come across any, and we were actually considering building our own, so it would be great to know if anyone has beaten us to it!

Hey Larissa.. wow sounds like quite a presentation.. even I want to listen
