Re: New Media Design
Hi Marco
Indeed, you don't want to build websites.
You're looking for a way to tell someone’s story.
You opted in with tools you like and you trust, i. e. design for the new media.
Don't take it for granted. Sooner or later, a website won't be the best tool to tell
that story, but you'll still want to tell it.
Be prepared.

– if you pay attention. 

If you’re not getting enough 

feedback, ask for it.
