Användbara länkar v. 26
Så i fredags var det midsommar och jag tog tillfället i akt att ändra dag för dessa länkar. Från och med nu kör vi onsdagar istället!
- » Matching Requirements with User Experience Johnny Holland – It’s all about interaction » Blog Archive
- Yep.
”Many projects still start with the same approach – quickly make a list of requirements and establish a budget under the assumption that the requirements are comprehensive and complete. This creates problems for designers. How do we break into this relationship and get an early seat at the table? Respect the Situation and the Work The first thing we need to do in these situations is respect the requirements and reference them in our deliverables to make clear that we are paying attention.”
- What do you love?
- Google vill veta vad jag älskar. Jag berättar för dem. Det är kebab, och nu låter de mig utforska kebab i 3D!
- Is It Time to Rethink Website Navigation?
- Hmm.. Brr.
”While there are plenty of reasons to avoid going back to the days of entirely Flash website builds — whether your reasons are related to performance, SEO, web accessibility, independence from a proprietary technology, etc. — for most of our projects, we may still be able to gain some inspiration from what Flash sites showed us, especially in the rethinking of how website navigation can look and function.”
- Personas 101: What Are They and Why Should I Care?
- Om personas, varför och hur man kan använda dem och hur begreppet allt som oftast blandas ihop till en röra av allt möjligt som inte hör dit.
”Walmart found out the hard (and costly) way when it cleaned house and made its stores “less cluttered,” after posing the question to customers: “Would you like Walmart aisles to be less cluttered?” Now honestly, who is not going to say “yes” to that? Cluttered never has a good connotation, like the word “boring.”
- Shades of Grey: Wireframes as Thinking Device | UX Magazine
- Trevlig liten artikel om att använda wireframes som ”thinking device” för att stimulera konversation kring designförslag. Det är svårt att starta en vettig diskussion kring en tankebild, eftersom den ser annorlunda ut hos alla.
”I think it is quite common for user experience folks to view design as problem solving. For me, designing through the use of wireframes is a search in a problem space of alternatives; it’s a process of problem setting as much as it is a process of problem solving, which means that I always start with the context. To simplify, I pick my primary audience and the one activity that allows them to solve one goal quickly, effortlessly, and elegantly.”
- Does GE Think We’re Stupid?
- Att använda grafik för grafikens skull är aldrig en bra idé. Ska man visualisera data gäller det att visualiseringen berättar en historia som är lättare att ta till sig, än om den presenterats i text. GE misslyckas.
”Only after clicking on everything in sight did I eventually discover that what I assumed was a legend is in fact a unique control for switching between quantity and years. The blue and white colors of the control, though they match the colors of the chart, mean nothing. The white spaces in the visualization are also meaningless.”
