Content Design book winner – 19 June competition
Published 26 June 2018, by Sarah Winters in Content Design.
On 19th June, we ran a competition to define Content Design in 13 words or fewer. These are just some of the entries. We had so many that we liked so thanks very much for everyone who responded. We’ll have more competitions in the coming months so look out for other opportunities.
Content Design is saying what your stakeholder wants to say divided by 1000.
To paraphrase @gerrymcgovern #ContentDesign is ‘getting to the essence of what people need and stripping everything else away’.
#ContentDesign is sharing hobnobs – giving people what they need, not necessarily what you want.
#ContentDesign gives people what they need, nothing more.
#ContentDesign – using data to make content so that people can solve problems
Jack Garfinkel @CuriousScutter
#ContentDesign: understanding customers’ problems, and solving with tools and knowledge, without wasting their time.
#ContentDesign is about the design of presentation conveying content for the audience.
#ContentDesign is presenting information users need in the clearest way.
#ContentDesign is wording & layout presentation combined with user research, behaviour and experience
