Highlights of Week 24/2010
- The end of the killer feature (by Scott Berkun) – Scott points out the downsides of upgrades and compatibility; version management across third-party development, huge field.
- The Experience belongs to the User (by Joshua Porter) – about the effects of over-architecting on the actual user.
- How Well Are You Pricing Your Designs? (by Joel Reyes) – usually I consider previous experiences and their workload in hours, plus/minus additional requirments and the client itself (more communication involved, more/less hand-holding required, etc.) and multiply it with a fixed price. That’s my total.
- Apologizing like a human, not a corporation (by 37signals) – we all make mistakes, let’s start recognizing them and learn to appologize right – great example!
- Defining the Designer of 2015 (by aiga.org) – aiga teamed up with Adobe to take a look into the future. Capture the attention span of a user, huh?
- Destroying Designer’s Creative Block and Unleashing Your Creativity (by Aidan Huang) – Watch my caffeine intake?? Are you kidding me????
- There’s no right answer (by Donna Spencer) – Donna mentions some factors for designing the ‘better’ solution, the successful design will take all these factors into consideration.
- UCD info graphic poster (by Pascal Raabe) – information graphic poster illustrating the underlying lifecycle, methods, principles and techniques in a user centred design process.
- Using Charts and Graphs for Content (by Chris McConnell) – comprehensive overview and discussion of charting and graphing content.
- Considering Prototypes (by Andrew Maier) – prototypes generate context and questions and move teams in the direction of meeting business demands.
- The Frankfurt Kitchen (by Harry Brignull) – about design perfection that becomes counter-productive.
- Design Better And Faster With Rapid Prototyping (by Lyndon Cerejo) – another great blog post about prototyping – don’t overdo it and be aware of scope creep – it’s a bloody prototype
- Two Beautiful New Mini Pixel Icon Sets (reported by Paul Andrew) – what more to say, go get them.
- UX Lx Wrap Up (by Theresa Neil) – good wrap-up (with links to material) of the 3 day UX Lx conference in Lisbon last month.
