Assignment 1-Article Summary Though both print design and web design serve as tools to present readable information to the public, Jakob Nielsen insists that the two cannot be compared. In an article written over five years ago titled “Differences Between Print Design and Web Design”, Nielsen describes the inherent differences between the structure of a newspaper and the structure of a web document. Nielsen points out the advantages and disadvantages of both print and web design. Print design has the advantage of presenting a lot of information to the reader at once. Web design, while not yet capable of the high resolution of print design, does have the advantage of being interactive. Nielsen states that within 10 years web design resolution should be comparable in quality to print design.
