Am I designing for print or web?

Print Web
  • Paper: same experience for all
  • Immutable once ink dries (static view)
  • Limited interactivity (folds, surfaces, die-cuts)
  • Mature technology (slow, limited change)
  • Static
  • Device: different experience for many
  • Variable based on platform, software (rendered view)
  • Unlimited interactivity (client & server side)
  • Evolving technology (rapid, radical change)
  • Dynamic
