Design Constraints

January 23rd, 2007 by testMonkey

Jason Santa Maria has posted a nice little article dealing with the ongoing debate surrounding screen widths within the web design realm (but you already knew that, right?).

So how is this relevant to us? In the article, Jason identifies a couple of limitations that are universal to design. The limiting factors that Jason mentions will affect every project that you ever work on.

Read the article and identify these general design limitations. Don’t be surprised if I ask you to tell me what they are in a quiz at the beginning of class.

Read the whole article here.
