Does web content make you cringe? You’re not alone. It’s always late, rarely good, and definitely way too long on mobile. But if you’re not the one writing copy, it’s hard to know how to improve things. This workshop will help you. We’ll practice identifying patterns and priorities in the content we're designing, and building structural systems to support them. We call this content modeling.

In this workshop, you’ll learn: 

  • How to turn a big mess of content into something meaningful and modular
  • Why working with content patterns and chunks will improve your design process
  • How simple, flexible content models make for stronger mobile experiences
