While in Waikiki, I was invited by Burt Lum – the gracious host of a radio show called Bytemarks Café – to be on Hawai’i Public Radio to discuss the intersection between new technology and visualization. (Not that I’ve even scratched the surface of all the possibilities there, but it’s worth a conversation.) We were joined by instructor and web designer Chris Gargiulo from KCC. Chris and I discussed the process of designing for the audience’s experience and our personal insight into good design principles (and what I unfortunately referred to on-air as “fugly” design principles). We had callers ask about PowerPoint – one teacher said her school’s design specs require the use of blue text on a yellow background (what?!) – and others discussed some of the challenges of thinking through good design. To catch the audio file, Listen here. If you only want to hear my contribution, start at 19:56. Thank you for listening. Good night, and Good Luck.
