Description
The articles in this magazine deal with the essence of digital design
– its responsive dna. The rapid increase of many di erent mobile devices that are currently being used are making the web increasingly dynamic, with layouts adapting
to available screen resolution and elastic components. A new modular approach is being taken to layout, making it possible to rearrange and stack. In addition, the appearance and content of components can be made context-dependent.
This approach remains – for now – mainly technical, and our understanding of the concept of ‘context’ is still rather limited. Only when more personal user variables such as location, time, needs, preferences and behaviour are
combined with dynamic designing techniques can we truly speak of dynamic design.
This may all seem obvious, but the web is still largely populated by static pages. These static web pages are somewhat like ‘type cases’ – old fashioned printer’s drawers used to store letters, with content stashed away in boxes and in which nothing really springs to life. This is the tragic downside of organisation-driven design. But this means that there is still a whole new world to discover when it comes to dynamic design.
The articles in this magazine call for the creation of interfaces that respond to the user, not just in terms of content but also layout, look
and feel. Dynamic design to create living, breathing interfaces.
The style of this magazine
is a daring mix of high and low culture. Although the imagery is based in part on the Suprematism
of Malevitsj and El Lissitzky’s Prouns (Projects for the a rmation of the new) – a futuristic art form from the optimistic Russia of the previous century – it is also based
on the techno and liquid patterns of old-school Cavello and Australian gabberwear from a few decades ago.
This magazine’s typography has the appearance of Swiss International with a hint of gossip journalism.
As the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen once said, “it is about the good bad notes”. Discords that queer the pitch. After all, we are making history as pioneers of dynamic design.
