Use of red in hyperlinks and buttons

I'm currently debating the use of red for hyperlinks and button color standards for a site design over traditional colors such as blue.  Does anyone have any articles or research on the use of color in web typography, titles, hyperlinks, buttons, etc. they can refer me to?  Thanks for any help.

Activities / Games to teach User-Centered Design?

I am building a workshop to teach User-Centered Design. The target audience is people who want to integrate UCD into their software development process.

What I am looking for is activities and games to teach different aspects of UCD so that they can really "feel" the difference UCD makes, the before and after.

My workshop focuses on three areas:

- User Research (Contextual Inquiry, Interviews, Analyzing the data, establishing goals, creating personas, etc...)

Umea Industrial Design Intensive

Hi everyone.. this is a bit long:

I am very new to IxD and have been doing a lot of research lately to look for similar programs to Umea's Industrial Design Intensive. I'm about to graduate with a BS in business/economics, and have very limited design education, thus looking for some sort of grad school prep program. Also, the program doesn't require any professional experience or a portfolio for admissions.

30-Second User Requirements Survey

(Apologies if you receive this more than once.)

We are running a very brief (30-second) survey on user requirement methods such as use cases and user stories for an article I'm writing.

It will take less than 30 seconds. Please distribute it widely; it's intended for both UX professionals and developers.

Survey link: http://bit.ly/ur_survey

Thanks in advance!

suggestions for "best in class" B2B websites?

Hi all,

Does anyone have any B2B websites that they'd hold up as good examples?
I'm doing a competitive review and none of my client's direct
competitors have remarkable websites.

I'm looking for:

- A well-done B2B site

- The company preferably sells a service rather than a physical product

- Bonus if the company provides some selling tools right on the website
rather than asking the customer just to call in for a quote

- Bonus if the company has a self-service website for customers (DOUBLE
bonus if I can become a customer so as to check it out!)

We're going to do a logistic

Latimes.com Redesign - No Link Colors

The new L.A. Times web redesign launched last night.

IA-wise, it's basically the same site, but the look-and-feel more
strongly embraces the print idiom (e.g., Georgia font).

I feel like the big news is that they've dropped link colors from
headlines, nav, etc.

Latimes.com is my alma mater (1999-2006), and I now also teach web
publishing at Annenberg School of Journalism at USC.

Research Frameworks - Definition, Examples & Creation?

Hi all,
This idea of the "research framework" has really gotten stuck in my mind
since we began altering our process here at Evantage. But here's the
problem... I don't have a specific definition of what exactly this means. So
I've made one up:

Research Framework: A collection of things to ask & things to observe in
particular contexts, along with contextually appropriate techniques for
doing so.
