Interface Design Tip: Find the Epicenter
“Epicenter Design involves focusing in on the true essence of the page (the ‘epicenter’) and then building outwards. This means not starting with the navigation/tabs, or the footer, or the colors, or the sidebar, or the logo, etc. It means starting with the part of the page that, if changed or removed, would change the entire purpose of the page. Thatís the epicenter.”
