Chat Session: Yaron Schoen

I’ve been a fan of Yaron’s work for a while. Even before I knew who he was. I’ve been a longtime fan of Fantasy Interactive (Fi). He shares some great insight with me about the types of projects he’s worked on, in my opinion huge projects, like stuff for EA and National Geographic.

The Kontain signup from

Finding out that Yaron was the guy who designed the signup form for Kontain just makes me so happy. I’ve blogged about sign up form design (read it it’s good stuff 🙂 before and this is one of my all time favorite signup form designs. In fact I consider this signup form design for Kontain one of the first and main designs to use the three horizontal fields.

Must designers know how to code?

It’s an age old discussion/argument but I had to ask, since he posted earlier about it. I have to agree with him when he say’s YES. It’s not like you’re going to fail if you don’t know how to write HTML/CSS but it’s sure as heck going to help you know what you can achieve. He’s a humble man, so he wouldn’t say he’s a “craftsman” when it comes to code. But dude, you totally are!

Check out the entire chat session, there’s some good stuff in here and more than in this writeup. I’ll try to get Yaron back again soon(ish) to get his opinions on other design/dev oriented issues.
