Design & Interactive Experiences

We know the importance of UX, and there is a lot of information out there about good design principles - when on a digital screen. But what about one of the most prevalent interfaces that we all encounter? Whether it’s the contract for your mortgage or bills from suppliers, printed documents are still one of the major ways in which we interact with our users. This talk covers design issues and tips unique to the UX of the physical printed world.

A talk for students and alumni of the MSc in Human-Centred Systems at the Centre for Human-Computer Interaction Design.

In this talk I use my experience as a Front End Development Manager & Accessibility Lead to dissect the structure of a website. You’ll learn a 3 step process to evaluate designs & code to make decisions across disciplines to arrive at more accessible product experiences.

I have been working as a service design researcher for almost ten years in governmental organisations. But since I tracked a month of my own digital relation with ‘the government’ I have a new look on how government services should be designed. In my talk I’m going to take you on a trip through the complex world of digital governmental services and how democratic principles and user research should complement each other. You will have a new look on service design and front end interaction and you will realise that working in design might even be more political than being a member of parliament.

It’s time we bridge the gap between feel-good Design & Ethics panels and the work we do everyday as digital product designers.

A set of challenges to practice UX design skills.

Research is an essential part of creating good UX. In this article, Victor Yocco discusses areas of ethical consideration for UX practitioners when conducting UX research, and explores potential solutions to preventing research from venturing into unethical territory.

Looking back at findings from a series of eyetracking studies over 13 years, we see that fundamental scanning behaviors remain constant, even as designs change.

Define a trigger, transformations, duration, and easing of the animation, and be mindful of accessibility issues and annoying the user.

Animation in UX must be unobtrusive, brief, and subtle. Use it for feedback, state-change and navigation metaphors, and to enhance signifiers.

Microinteractions convey system status, support error prevention, and communicate brand. They are initiated by a trigger, are single-purpose, and can make the experience engaging.

Above and beyond feedback, micro-interactions can also add a human element to your interface. Do you have an opinion on the heart v. star interaction on the Tw…

New rules put in place by the companies over the last four years have helped them avert their greatest fears.

A UX competitor analysis gives you valuable insights that help in generating more profit and changing design elements of your product / service.
