Content Folks @contentfolks.bsky.social · 11/04/2024Thanks to Liberty Howard for her brilliant talk this week 'Content design: what they don't tell you in the books' www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiVT...youtube.comContent design: what they don't tell you in the booksA lot of content designers come into the industry understanding the principles of good content design, and with a lot of valuable transferable skills we've picked up along the way. But it becomes obvious quite quickly that content design in theory is very different to content design in practice. Liberty Howard will be talking about what content design has really been like in her time across the charity, private and public sectors, her experiences of navigating that gap between my expectations and the reality, how she became a more pragmatic content designer, and how she's guiding her team at TPXimpact to do the same. ======== Content Folks is a friendly space to meet and learn from other content-focussed people.
