While I couldn't attend South by Southwest in Austin, TX this year, I was able to explore the Interactive show through Mike Rohde's handwritten illustrations. Fortunately, I love handwritten type... and I would love to know more about the Interactive world... therefore this hybrid of both get me rather excited.
Rohde brings attention to the lack of focus on typography in web design and questions how a designer can merge the two more often. He suggests freeing one's self from web design samples and doing something so important: seeking OTHER resources. Aside from typography, the lecture Rohde attended focuses on web design itself, mentioning the vitality of designing around a site's content, utilizing grids and systems to control the site, and "going after the details." Most importantly, have FUN designing the website, and make it fun for the viewer. Leave a mark on their brains so they will know to come back to your website.
I think everyone should take notes in illustrative lettering. For everything!
