Today in class I looked for and listened to a few podcasts about web design. Two websites that I found good podcasts on are http://www.rookiedesigner.com/podcast-archive/ and http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/topics/podcasts/. The podcast I listened to on www.uie.com was by Brian Suda and Adam Churchill and the one on www.rookiedesigner.com was by Jake Van Ness and Kitty Florido. The podcast on www.rookiedesigner.com was about how to manage a contract job and freelance clients. There were two people sharing ideas between each other and saying that to juggle the contract job and their freelance clients, the work between the two should not overlap. They pool their ideas together and give the listener a lot of information. Designers should only work on their contract job during the time they are actually getting payed and any other time they should work on what the freelance clients want. This podcast showed me how web designers juggle their work between contracts and freelance clients. I learned about how organised they are. The other blog on www.uie.com was about how designers can display data attractively and appropriately for everyone. One was asking the questions and the other was responding. They were talking about how to make data look nice for everybody, including people who are colorblind. Also, how to make data more accessible and interactive. The speaker answers the questions thoroughly and gives examples. This podcast helped me realize that what looks good for one person may not look good for another. You have to find something that is ideal for the general population.
