The battle between print and web. It’s coming to an end.

There has been always tension between print and web design for as long as I’ve been on the web side of things (14 years and counting). A portion of this tension is derived from the web’s less than optimal ability to control positioning and typography. Trying to get that amazing illustration to line up perfectly with that sizzling headline was a nightmare in not only HTML/CSS standards and browser compatibility, but page size. Then factor in connection speeds and monitor sizes and what you were left with is some less than spectacular. I still believe in keeping things lean and functional, but after working on the launch of my agency’s website and looking through these 25 Inspiring Web Designs on Webdesign Tuts+, I believe we have finally turned the corner. It’s finally the best of both worlds.

    Just in time for it all to end, now that tablets and smart phones will replace desktop browsing altogether! ;-)

    I guess it just comes down the screen size now. I still like to browse on a large monitor with point and click (I’m I getting old?). Also a different mind/behavior set…I’m not really as focus with iPhone/iPad experience. Maybe it’s the act of having to holding the device? Kindle is different because you don’t have to physically interact much with it.

    I have no point here. Only random thoughts.
