Editor's Notes

  • #10 Screen Size – 20% of the space you used to have to get your message acrossPeople spend 1-3 seconds on smartphones, 3-5 on desktops
  • #11 Your customer is moving around, they may not have a network connection or could be using public wifiSmartphones have the processing power of a 98 PC and the graphic card of a 2013 Macbook ProWe need to balance image size with the devices ability to render that image
