Cartoon
This Dilbert cartoon was
chosen as it related to the topic of “data gathering” and explains what
happens when it is done wrongly. In the
cartoon, the interviews were conducted with people who were working with the
product development rather then the end users.
The selection of the target segment is pertinent, or else the user
interface designed might not resonate with the end users.
Video – Six UX Design
Trends in 2013
This video is interesting as describing the six UX design
trends in 2013, such as “Skeumorphic design vs flat design”, “Multi-device
design”, “Using videos”, “Using large background photos”, “Visual storytelling
and creating persona”, and “Typography”.
This is related to the topic of “mobile”, as today with inch
scale devices, web designers will not be able to fit traditional web content on
smaller screens. Hence using the new design trends listed above, the messaging
and emotion of the content can be conveyed via the appropriate visual channels.
