What we need is a web grammar.
D. W. Griffith – Birth of a Nation – did nothing different, but he invented a film grammar and made a load of money.
“1 + 1 = 3”
What is the (possible) web grammar:
- Random voyeurism
- Self aware (but uncontrollable) content
- User-created context
- Ambient awareness
- Experiential content
Tips for Transcendent Web Design:
- Organize cross teams
- Embrase your ignorance
- Don’t be distracted by business models that don’t start and end with users
(Tips are incomplete)
