About Responsive Design
One of the foundations of delivering a steady stream of features is continual investment in design. How can incremental design be made efficient? What forces influence design? What skills do designers need? To answer these questions I have begun examining my own practice of design and quantitatively studying existing designs. In this talk I will describe the four strategies I use when designing, the curious patterns exhibited by large systems, and successions, the most recent focus of my work.
