What Can Leonardo Da Vinci Teach Us About Web Design?
Leonardo da Vinci’s methods and outlooks are just as applicable to web development today as they were in Renaissance Italy:
• Documenting thoughts, ideas, and work is essential to the creative process.
• Understanding geometry and proportional mathematics are necessary for a quality web design.
• Da Vinci wrote right-to-left in ‘mirror script,’ emphasizing the importance of finding ways of working that suit you.
• He was picky about his patrons and employers, demonstrating the importance of working with people who will foster creativity.
• His works were often the result of countless experiments, tangents, and iterations; embracing this iterative process can help produce superior results.
