Inclusive design is for everyone — Presentation Transcript
- Inclusive Design is for Everyone @SandiWassmer
- Art DESIGN is not
- Good Design has Purpose and Principles. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you Dieter Rams and his timeless principles
- Good design ‣ is innovative ‣ makes a product useful ‣ is aesthetic ‣ makes a product understandable ‣ is unobtrusive ‣ is honest ‣ is long-lasting ‣ is thorough down to the last detail ‣ is environmentally friendly ‣ is as little design as possible
- What is Inclusive Design and Why Should I?
- The Internet at its Inception: One Way Communication in Raw HTML
- More One Way Communication: Now with WYSIWYG Editors, Designers and Marketers in the mix
- FLASHtastic: Skip Intro
- Web Standards: Makes an Impact
- Web 2 Point Freakin’ Zero: We have Technology and we are going to use all of it at the same time
- The Internet is Interactive: Push & Pull
- “Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.” Frank Lloyd Wright
- Theory and Practice: Bringing the Principles of Industrial Design and Architecture Into Web Design
- Principle One: Equitable Use Should be welcoming and not discriminate, offering equally valuable user experiences for anyone and everyone
- Principle Two: Flexibility In Use Should provide plenty of choice in how, why, where, when and with what device different people want to use it
- Principle Three: Simple And Intuitive Use Should not require a manual and should be immediately obvious how to navigate from the get go
- Principle Four: Perceptible Information Should be clear what the purpose of the website is for, what people should get from it and why
- Principle Five: Tolerance For Error Should aim to prevent user error, but to provide guidance and assistance that is well considered and not an afterthought, if they do
- Principle Six: Low Physical Effort Should not be difficult, onerous or restrictive to use and does not require the user to do the hard work
- Principle Seven: Size And Space For Approach And Use Should be the appropriate size and shape to suit the user and user agent
- Makes Sense. How Do I Do It?
- Design with Purpose & Intent
- Ponder, Contemplate & Reflect
- Collaborate, Communicate & Innovate
- Plan, Organise & Structure
- Design with Purpose & Intent (again)
- Develop Features and Functionality from a User’s Perspective, not a Technology One
- Test the Hell Out of it: Functionality Testing, Usability Testing, Accessibility Testing, User Panels, Experts, Your Parents and anyone else for that matter
- And now that you know the rules, you also know when it’s right to break them
