It\x26#8217;s fine to design that way for a brochure site, but when confronted with a dynamic website that will host a great deal of content, or a web application, I find that what works best is to design from the inside out.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThe web is non-linear by nature; a designer is able to nudge the user towards viewing certain page elements (by using nothing less than sorcery, I assure you) but ultimately the user is in control of what page she wants to go to next on your site.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI found that the most logical design method is to start applying my design concepts to the \x26#8220;deeper\x26#8221; pages first, the pages that will contain the most content. That way I can tell from the start whether or not a design will work with the content that I have, and if not I can figure out sooner how to make it work.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_text_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_title\x22\x3eAmazon.co.uk recommends\x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_body\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3eIn an ultimately futile search to find a PAL version of Rock Band here in Jeddah, I caved and decided to purchase it online. I went to Amazon UK for the first time in about six years.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eWhen I logged in I was amused by what Amazon thinks I still need. Amazon Recommends for you: IGCSE Biology. I literally LOL\x26#8217;d as I remembered how about six years ago I ordered my IGCSE books online, and haven\x26#8217;t returned to Amazon UK since, so those were the only recommendations Amazon had for me. Thank you for the chuckles, Amazon, but thankfully I\x26#8217;m way past that point. phew.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_text_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_title\x22\x3eLook, Ma!

I use it to do very light video editing, superimposing text, etc. The first time it crashed I panicked. I thought to myself: OMG I didn\x26#8217;t save! When I relaunched it I saw that all my work was there, but I still fumbled through the menus trying to find a \x26#8220;Save\x26#8221; function and couldn\x26#8217;t. 2 Seconds of googling later led me to the discovery that iMovie \x26#8216;08\x26#160;\x3ci\x3edoes not in fact have a save function\x3c/i\x3e.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI have very mixed feelings about this: on the one hand it\x26#8217;s great to break out of the cycle of constant \x26#8220;Cmd+S\x26#8221;ing that interrupts my workflow, and on the other hand that sense of security you get from saving, and iterative saving, is lost. I\x26#8217;m at your mercy, iMovie, and I don\x26#8217;t like it.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a\x3c/ol\x3e');
