“Now is the time for the medium of the web to outgrow its
origins in the printed page. . . . It is the nature of the web to
be flexible, and it should be our role as designers and
developers to embrace this flexibility . . . The journey begins
by letting go of control, and becoming flexible.”

What happened in
between these two
publications?
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
“Creating Killer Web Sites was
the first true design book for
the Web. It became the best-
selling book on the Internet in
1996 and has been translated
into ten languages. It has
taught an entire generation of
site designers how to get
control over their pages”

“The Work of Art in the Age of
Mechanical Reproduction
(Reproducibility)” 1936
“that which withers in
the age of mechanical
reproduction is the aura
of the work of art . . . the
technique of reproduction
detaches the reproduced
object from the domain of
tradition”
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
What is the work of
design, in the age of
digital reproduction?

- Daniel Burnham, Master of Works for the Chicago World’s Fair
“Make no Little Plans . . . Make big plans . . .
remembering that a noble, logical diagram once
recorded will never die . . . Let your watchword be order
and your beacon beauty”
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Modernism
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Modernism
“All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with
their train of ancient and venerable
prejudices and opinions, are swept
away, all new-formed ones become
antiquated before they can ossify.
All that is solid melts into air, all
that is holy is profaned, and man is
at last compelled to face with sober
senses his real conditions of life, and
his relations with his kind”
Marx & Engels, Communist
Manifesto (1848)
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Modernism
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, . . .
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
. . .
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
- Yeats, “The Second Coming” 1919
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
- T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land 1922
I sat upon the shore
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?
London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down
Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina
Quando fiam ceu chelidon - O swallow swallow
Le Prince d'Aquitaine a la tour abolie
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo's mad againe.
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
Shantih shantih shantih
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Modernism
“To be modern is to find ourselves
in an environment that promises
us adventure, power, joy, growth,
transformation of ourselves and
the world - and at the same time
that threatens to destroy
everything we have, everything
we know, everything we are.”
Marshall Berman, All That Is
Solid Melts Into Air (1982)

Tryin’ to keep it real (compared to what)
1969: Gene McDaniels
composition, recorded by Les
McCann & Eddie Harris, protests
Nixon and the war in Vietnam.

2003: “Real Compared to What”
stars Mya and Common selling
Coca Cola, “The Real Thing”
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Mo vs Po-mo
• Things Fall Apart / All that is
solid melts into air
• Mourning lost authenticity
• If only we could reassert a
master narrative
• Clear distinction between
“high” and “low” culture
• Aesthetic formalism
• It’s the end of the world as we
know it, and I feel fine
• Authenticity is a lie, a trap
• Distrust of master narratives
• Blurring of lines between
“high” and “low” / “art” and
“commerce”
• Pastiche, collage, parody, irony,
self-referentiality, simulacra
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Responsive Web Design
is more than a set of
techniques: it is a push,
to force us out of the
collective hallucination
of fixed-web design
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Responsive Web Design
• RWD can’t just mean
producing three comps where
we used to do one (mobile,
tablet, desktop)
• We need to balance the clients’
desire for control with a
realistic sense of device
proliferation and the
appropriate ebb and flow
• Stop trying to make the web
back into a new print

Stop controlling, start designing
• Design from content out
• Design for fluidity & device independence - grid
systems, percentages, responsive typography and
imagery
John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
Stop controlling, start designing
• Design from content out
• Design for fluidity & device independence - grid
systems, percentages, responsive typography and
imagery
• Move to real interactions (html,css,js) as early as
possible / practical (but not before that)

The White City
• Henry Howard Holmes,
“America’s first serial killer,”
designed and built a hotel to
prey upon primarily young
women who came to visit or
work at the fair
• See Erik Larsen, The Devil in

  • 8. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 “Now is the time for the medium of the web to outgrow its origins in the printed page. . . . It is the nature of the web to be flexible, and it should be our role as designers and developers to embrace this flexibility . . . The journey begins by letting go of control, and becoming flexible.”

  • 24. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Modernism
  • 25. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Modernism “All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind” Marx & Engels, Communist Manifesto (1848)
  • 26. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Modernism Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, . . . The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. . . . And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? - Yeats, “The Second Coming” 1919
  • 27. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 - T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land 1922 I sat upon the shore Fishing, with the arid plain behind me Shall I at least set my lands in order? London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina Quando fiam ceu chelidon - O swallow swallow Le Prince d'Aquitaine a la tour abolie These fragments I have shored against my ruins Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo's mad againe. Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata. Shantih shantih shantih
  • 28. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Modernism “To be modern is to find ourselves in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and the world - and at the same time that threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are.” Marshall Berman, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air (1982)

  • 34. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Mo vs Po-mo • Things Fall Apart / All that is solid melts into air • Mourning lost authenticity • If only we could reassert a master narrative • Clear distinction between “high” and “low” culture • Aesthetic formalism • It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine • Authenticity is a lie, a trap • Distrust of master narratives • Blurring of lines between “high” and “low” / “art” and “commerce” • Pastiche, collage, parody, irony, self-referentiality, simulacra
  • 35. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014
  • 36. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Responsive Web Design is more than a set of techniques: it is a push, to force us out of the collective hallucination of fixed-web design
  • 37. John Eckman | @jeckman | #wcnyc2014 Responsive Web Design • RWD can’t just mean producing three comps where we used to do one (mobile, tablet, desktop) • We need to balance the clients’ desire for control with a realistic sense of device proliferation and the appropriate ebb and flow • Stop trying to make the web back into a new print
