1) A designer provides visual solutions to problems by applying design principles like hierarchy, clarity, consistency and proximity.
2) The basics of design include establishing a concept, organizing information in a clear hierarchy, using alignment and spacing principles, implementing contrast to guide users, and incorporating consistent use of icons and color.
3) Effective communication between designers and developers is important to ensure the design vision is properly translated into the final product.
Sketching As a Communication and Collaboration Tool.Aaron Irizarry
Product teams often consist of team members with various disciplines and approaches to product design, this can often present communication hurdles with team members (designers, devs, product managers, marketing,research, etc) as well as kinks in team collaboration. In this talk, Aaron will provide tools, tips, and insights into using sketching to help improve communication and collaboration within product teams.
Learn about product design and what it is, why it's important, and methods for approaching design yourself. Slides are copyright Stephanie Engle and taken from a presentation for HackDuke at Duke University.

Discuss Design Without Losing Your MindAdam Connor
This is an updated version of Discussing Design: The Art of Critique.
We’ve all struggled at times in sharing our designs with teammates and stakeholders and collecting feedback on them. The comments we receive can seem to more about personal preference or indicate some misalignment of goals and vision for the project.
Our ability to critique and to facilitate critique with others speaks directly to the quality of these conversations. Designers frequently complain about the quality and uselessness of the feedback they are given, but we rarely take a step back and examine how to collect useful feedback and make our discussions around our designs more productive.
With this talk we look deeper into the various aspects of critique, not just as an activity for collecting feedback, but as a key skill in our ability to communicate and collaborate. We examine the language, rules and strategies for critique and provide participants with takeaways that can immediately be put to work to create a useful, collaborative environment for discussing designs.

Design Thinking: The one thing that will transform the way you thinkDigital Surgeons
What's the one thing that will transform the way you think? Design Thinking. The startups, trailblazers, and business mavericks of our world have embraced this process as a means of zeroing in on true human-centered design.
Design Thinking is a methodology for innovators that taps into the two biggest skills needed in today’s modern workplace: critical thinking & problem solving.
Of course, if you ask 100 practitioners to define it, you’ll wind up with 101 definitions.
Pete Sena of Digital Surgeons believes that Design Thinking is a process for solving complex problems through observation and iteration. At its core, he describes it as a vehicle for solving human wants and needs.
Minds are like parachutes; they only function when open. Thomas Dewar was a Scottish whiskey distiller.
Communicating ideas or insights is often the hardest part of the design process. And PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheets are limited in their ability to do this. But the communication tools used in Design Thinking—maps, models, sketches, and stories—help to capture and express the information required to form and socialize meaning in a very straightforward, human way.
The Five things that all definitions of Design Thinking have in common:
1. Isolating and reframing the problem focused on the user.
2. Empathy. A design practitioner from IDEO, the popular design and innovation firm strapped a video camera to his head and it was only then that he recognized why the ceiling is such an important factor when working with hospital patients. As a patient you lay in bed and stare at it all day. It’s these little details and true empathy that can only be realized by putting oneself in the user’s shoes.
3. Approach things with an open mind and be willing to collaborate. Creativity with purpose is a team sport.
4. Curiosity. We have to harness our inner 5-year-old here and really be inquisitive explorers. Instead of seeing what would be or what should be, consider what COULD be.
5 - Commitment. Brainstorming is easy. It’s easy to want to start a business or solve a problem. Seeing it into market and making it successful is not for the faint of heart. We’ve all read about big “wins” (multi-billion dollar acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp). What we don’t read about are people like Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, who work for years before becoming industry sensations.
Pete describes what he refers to as the “Wheel of Innovation” as a process that continuously focuses on framing, making, validating, and improving on your concept. Be it as small as a core feature in your product down to the business model and business idea itself.
Design is about form and function, not art.
What are the business benefits for Design Innovation?
IDEO started an idea revolution when they coined this phrase DESIGN THINKING. Organizations ranging from early-stage startups up to Fortune 50 organizations have capitalized on this iterative appr
There are plently of design processes and design tools out there but how to choose the right process for your team? Here is my experience experimenting with design process in UX academy and later applying various tools in real life.
I gave a talk on the role of Design Thinking to leaders in the financial industry. The focus was on user centric thinking to innovate financial products and digital services. (all case material is removed)

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

3. Design is a simple solution to a problem. It is not something you have
to decorate.
Designer is a person who provides a visual solution to a problem.
Designer must not create a problem within his design.
Now ask again “are you really a designer? Are you really providing a
solution to a problem or creating new problems for users, clients and
your co-developers?”
4. JUST IMAGINE.
A doctor giving cough and cold medicines
to a patient suffering from bone fracture or a
tailor stitching a night wear for a groom
instead of a suit for his marriage out of
same material.
Obviously these things will create a lot more
trouble for the user without solving a single
problem which he has before
5. Be sure what you do.
Provide a solution for the users.
Don’t do exactly what other designers
have done for some other problem.
Like a cough syrup wont work for a
broken leg, similarly a wrong solution
what others have already done will not
solve a problem.
Take inspiration. Don’t copy. Always
create something new.
7. #1
Developer: “The designer didn’t accommodate for real-world content.”
Solutions:
Design comps are static, but real-world web pages have to be fluid and
dynamic. Designers should recognize this and cover all possible sce-
narios.
Please dont use Lorem Ipsum. Try to fill real content.
8. #2
Developer: “I don’t need no designer telling me how to program! ”
Solutions:
Listen to what the designer has to say about technical alternatives; you
may not have thought of all of them.
Remember that you and the designer (hopefully!) share the same goal
of creating the best product possible.
9. #3
Developer: “The designer expects me to guess what styles he has
used. ”
There is always a breakdown between the team related to spacing, line
height, etc.
Solution:
Communicate is the only solution.
10. SO WHAT?
Deploying graphic design principles will enhance your ability and skills.
Deploying graphic design principles will enable you to create more
user-friendly interfaces.
Help you to enhance the knowledge.
Make base of HCI strong, which is increasingly necessary with millions
of users.
11. FOR ALL.
Please follow the User Interface guidelines.
Dont randomly add or subtract elements without thinking from the
design perspective.
Remember client is neither a designer nor a developer. Don’t blindly do
what he asks. If you think he is wrong, explain him politely. Especially
developers, if client asks you to do some changes, please take the right
decision after consulting with the designer.
Do for users. Not for clients.
13. Basic #1: Concept.
It is the base where idea is related to.
To build a design you need to be an actor!
If you are buildig an app for a grocery chop, act a sif you are a
customer and then come out with the design.
14. It is a music related app for teenagers, hence playful, fun and is
drenched in colour.
15. Basic #2: Hierarchy.
What are the levels of importance?
What should the user see first? Second? Third?
16. Basic #3: CLARITY.
Every element in an interface should have a reason.
Remember less is more.
White space is important.
17. Basic #4: Consistency.
Be consistent.
In layout, color, images, icons, typography, text
Within screen, across screens
Stay within metaphor everywhere
Platform may have a style guide -- follow it!
18. Basic #5: PROXIMITY.
Items close together appear to have a relationship.
Blue
Large distance implies -- no relationship
Blue
19. CONTRAST. VISIBILITY.
Pulls you in.
Guides your eyes around the interface.
Take advantage of contrast to guide user through hierarchy of
information; add focus; or to energize an interface.
Can be used to distinguish active control.
20. CONTRAST. VISIBILITY.
Can be used to set off most important item.
Allow it to dominate.
Ask yourself what is the most important item in the interface, highlight it.
25. Alignment. IMPORTANT.
Grids are horizontal and vertical lines to help locate window
components.
Align related things. Group items logically.
Minimize number of controls, reduce clutter.
26.
27. Alignment. RULES.
Choose one out of: left, center, right or justified.
Choose one, use it everywhere
Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle
little star, little star, little star,
How I wonder How I wonder How I wonder
What you are? What you are? What you are?
Novices often center things!
Hard to read. No definition, calm, very formal.
Use only in small quantities
Also avoid right alignment.
Twinkle Twin-
kle little star,
How I wonder
What you are?
28. SPACING. FEEL GOOD.
All the spacing across the website/app/print media should be
same or in multiples of it.
Spacing is the only reason that makes a website/app
perfect and wisely designed.
It removes chaos and clutter.
Makes design neat and legible.
29.
30. ICONS. CREATIVE.
Represent object or action in a familiar and recognizable manner.
Relies on drawing ability. Please don’t copy!
Avoid meaningless use of icons.
Too many icons quickly become illegible.
Limit number of different icons.
Make icon stand out from background.
31. ICONS. SAME.
Most important part of design is family. All icons used should be
of same family.
