Goals UI mean ... What’s the What UX isn’t... What UX is... Generally how to do it...

Street Cred Computer Science Grad

Why I’m a UXD? I love people I love technology I love a challenge

What is the UI all about? No, I won’t be showing you any icebergs

Pretty Flat Stuff on the surface of things only mean so much.

Temporary Used only when needed, and forgotten just as easily.

Graphical You can only put so much lipstick on a pig.

A Treasure Map Should convey the steps necessary to take to accomplish a task

Un-Deﬁning The Damn Thing What User Experience Isn’t...

About Design An experience transcends an interface, service, or product (Mac vs PC)

Usability Tests It’s not about what works or not

A Phase Takes more than few best practices to achieve a good experience

The Interface Independent of current level of technology

About the User Sums up your brand and message

Done Alone Never drink alone, never design alone

An Experience Impossible to create something as intangible as an experience

Deﬁning The Damn Thing User Experience Is ...

A Lot of Hats UXD, IA, IxD, VD, BA, UID, etc. So many hats, not enough heads

Relationships People aren’t users or customers, but partners in an overall relationship

It’s Moral Helping people do their thing painlessly is never a bad thing

Human Problems Most of this problems are timeless, others are being created everyday

Sucking Less Failure is part of the game, just learn from your failures

The Next Level Provides the freedom to innovate without alienating

For an Experience Set the stage and see how the play gets acted out

Creating a Good User Experience A General Process

Problem Space All good things start with some good ole research

Understanding Deﬁne the pieces to the puzzle you are trying to solve

Proper Solution Find the needle in the haystack

Validate Determine how much you sucked this time around

Maintenance Got to keep the machine rolling.

Takes Everyone Goes beyond the project team and department.

Wrapping Up Some take aways

Young Profession You’re our older sibling, and it is time for us to get along

Growing Up Siblings can only bicker for so long

Human Condition User Experience can’t improve it without your help
