To launch CDL’s international courses we ran a competition on 16th -23rd October 2019 to win a spot on one of our courses in Manchester and Australia. We’ll have more competitions in the coming months so look out for other opportunities.
The competition question was: how would you define or describe content design?
Here are just some of the entries we received. We had so many that we loved. They were so creative and described and represented content design, so well, it was challenging to choose a winner. Thanks very much for everyone who entered.
Manchester entries:

Giving people what they need

@ContentDesignLDN: "How would you define or describe content design?"
Content design is more than just words, it's using research to give people the information they need in the best format.
It's about making things simple, effective and inclusive. #ContentDesignManchester pic.twitter.com/a0L6uArZri

Content design is making sure your format, structure and tone is relevant, useful and usable for your target audience. It’s also ensuring your content, interactions and visual design are created together so they all work in harmony as a frictionless user experience.
