Using Artist Trading Cards to
Build Bridges Within UX Design Teams
What?
2
What are Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)?
» A small art form (2.5”x3.5”) that is meant to be traded with others
» Based on an inspirational theme
» Can be done in any medium and can be flat, textured, or 3-D
» Should be labeled on the back with the theme, artist’s name, edition
number (e.g., 1/10), and creation location and date
What is the history of ATCs?
» First started as a collaborative gallery showing by several artists in 1996
where people could only trade artwork for the small pieces, not buy
them
» Helped start a movement of artists connecting directly to each other,
reinforcing the idea that the true “value” of art is its ability to bring us
together and help us communicate with each other
» There are now ATC clubs all over the world and online
How and Who?
3
How does an ATC club work?
» Have a schedule of themes, trading times, and technique instruction
» Create as many copies of your ATCs as you’d like to trade
» Either trade in person or through the mail
» Stick to the dimensions (only real “rule”)
» Play, have fun, and have an open mind
Who can participate?
» Painters/Drawers/Tracers
» Cartoonists/Doodlers
» Stampers/Scrapbookers
» Writers/Plagiarizers
» Sculptors/Mod Podgers
» Photographers/Collagers
» Sewers/Quilters
» Knitters/Crocheters
Anyone who wants to express, explore, or find their creative side!

Why? (Part 1)
5
Sharing art brings like-souls
together on a level that no other
form of communication can.

Why? (Part 2)
6
How can an ATC club make better UX Design teams?
» Build bridges by breaking down siloes (real and imagined)
» Foster creativity & confidence as creative thinkers amongst all team
members (designers, developers, information architects, content
strategists, project managers, etc.)
» Build a stronger team through communication, play, and trust
Why did I bold “build bridges” above?
» Web professionals need to be bridge builders by Gary McGovern
inspired me to find a way to build more bridges
» UX Design organizations must build bridges and foster a culture that
acknowledges expertise, but encourages cross-discipline collaboration
» Cultures are built from the ground up
