UIEtips: Embracing the Medium

In this week’s UIEtips, we reprint an article. In it, Richard Rutter discusses the web and its role as a medium. Richard argues that we should consider the fact that a user can shape their experience as a strength rather than a weakness.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

The control which print designers have – and so often desire when they transition to the web – is a limitation of the printed medium.
