Design for screen - 'Only'

We had the pleasure of local design studio 'Only' coming in to do a talk with us and have a bit of discussion about design for screen and their experience of the industry.

'Only is an award-winning strategy and design consultancy helping organisations to use design to innovate and grow. In close partnership with brands, we identify new ways for them to connect with people. We help clients to articulate their vision and design the products, services and experiences that bring them to life. Our approach to design takes inspiration from real people and has its ultimate goal in the clarification of purpose and meaning. By better understanding who we are designing for, we create experiences of real value'. 

Taken notes: 

You don't actually need to know how to code - you produce/pitch an idea for the external developer to build the brief based on your mockups.

Their design process:

1. Research
2. Wire-framing- can either be a quick/easily accessible tester or they use proper external services for the big briefs ( website called Invision for website prototyping, but they use the which is called Azure)
3. Design 
4. Working with developers  - work with an array of external developer specialists - they bring various partners in for the different jobs - it is Only's job to create crude mockups on after effects or any other way they can best communicate their message visually.
