“Where’s the Crown?”
Content is King. Design is too.

"King me!"

Content is king.  There, I said it.  What would your website, app, magazine, movie, etc… be, without content?

That being said, design is often equally important.  The way your content is presented, conveyed, adorned, etc… will make or break the overall experience of using it.

So, where does that put you?

First, let’s kick that idea around for a minute.  What does “Content is King!” mean, anyway?  Are we talking about copy?  How about images, graphics, or video?

Yes.

Content is the stuff people came for.  It’s the bread.  Design is often the stuff that initially holds the attraction.  It’s the butter.  Let’s not forget the knife!

You’re the knife.  Or maybe it’s more useful to think of your tools as the knife.  Either way, you may be in charge of the proper spread.  As the person in charge of how and where to present content, you have a lot to consider.

What do you have to consider?

I could yak all day, but who has time for that?  I want to know what YOU consider when stitching design and content.
