Designing for the inbox: My Web Directions talk

Posted by Mathew Patterson on June 17, 2008

On May 16th I spoke at the excellent Web Directions South: User Experience on the topic of "Designing for the inbox".

You can listen to a slidecast of my talk synced (almost!) with the slides below, but be sure to check out the other great talks on the Web Directions site. For those of you who can make it, the big Web Directions South later this year in Sydney will be awesome, and we'll be there exhibiting again.

Or download the MP3 by itself.

This will probably not be new to a lot of you, but it may help you explain the value of HTML email to the non-believers out there, as well as give an overview of the design process.
