Chloe Gottleib and Jill Nussbaum: Journeys in Motion

 

User journeys describe the greater context of an experience including the conditions, motivation, and environment for a particular audience. Yet as the experiences we design continue to evolve, our methods for describing these stories remain static. Existing page-based journeys add little inspiration to the powerful experiences we are designing. In this session, we will explore how user journeys can leverage animation, sound, and visual continuity to communicate robust interactive experiences in simple and effective ways.

Dave Malouf - Foundations of Interaction Design: Bringing design critique to interaction design

 

Foundation and critique are two core elements that separate design from other ways of thinking and practicing creation of ideas and solutions. Foundations are the core elements that we manipulate within our craft. Critique is the way we judge the results of that craft. For critique to be effective though it requires foundation. It is only through our understanding of what it is that makes up our craft, that we can bring consistency and consensus to design criticism.

Solomon Bisker - Citizen Volunteerism and Urban Interaction Design

It can be intimidating — not to mention dangerous – trying to “tinker” with adding technology to public spaces and services. One risks violating laws and/or stepping on the toes of the various urban planning agencies, planning boards and other government bodies tasked by our communities to manage the world around us. This is particularly true when it comes to projects that require physical interaction and infrastructure — which we will see more and more often as the worlds of bits and atoms collide.
