Optimising Landing Pages Through Narrative Structure - Digital Growth Unleash...Anna Dahlström
Slides from my talk at Digital Growth Unleashed in London on the 17 October 2018.
ABSTRACT
In all good stories things happen for a reason. Every prop and character that is present, every line that is spoken and song that is played has a role to play in making the story come together. In this talk Anna takes us on a journey of what we can learn from traditional storytelling methods when it comes to optimising landing pages and how narrative structure is key in ensuring we're telling the right story to the right audience, at the right time.

Slides from my talk about Storytelling In Design at Design Exchange Nottingham on 8 Feb 2017.
http://dxnevent.com/
ABSTRACT
To every great story there's a bit of magic involved and so there is to experiences that just work and deliver the right content, interactions and nudges at the right time, and on/via the right device. Drawing on tried and tested storytelling principles from film, fiction, and music and applying them to the context of UX design, in this talk Anna shares how the increasingly complex world we’re designing for is our biggest asset and how storytelling in design can help us instil a bit of everyday magic in the work we do, for our users, and for us.
What the numbers tell us - Dublin Web Summit, 18 Oct 2012Anna Dahlström
Numbers on their own don't tell us much but put into context they start develop a meaning and can help us make informed decisions, guide the design and development process as well as bring aspects to life that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to see. Using data and numbers we can create meaningful connections and something to relate to. But it can also help us build experiences that surprise and delight and go further towards achieving our objectives.

Designing Around Storytelling - Breaking Borders, Reading 18 August 2015Anna Dahlström
Slides from my talk at Breaking Borders on the 18 August. http://breakingborde.rs/past-events/engagement/
Storytelling has always played an important part in our societies throughout history. In the last few years it's gained attention as an important aspect in communicating and building engagement with a brand’s customer base. But storytelling is also an integral part of the design process. It’s a tool that not only can help us define our content and messaging, but the experience as a whole. Both across platforms and screens, and how we interact with it.

ABSTRACT
Whilst the work we do is not meant to be hanged on a wall for people to admire, nor is meant to be put in a drawer and forgotten about. Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for anyone starting out in UX, or who's worked with it for a while but is looking to improve the way they present their work.
What you'll learn
In this hands on workshop we'll walk through real life examples of why the UX of UX deliverables matter. We'll cover how who the reader is effects the way we should present our work, both on paper and verbally, and how to ensure that the work you do adds value. Coming out of the workshop you'll have practical examples and hands on experience with:
// How to adapt and sell your UX deliverable to the reader (from clients, your team, in house and outsourced developers)
// Guiding principles for creating good UX deliverables (both low and high fidelity)
// Best practice for presentations, personas, user journeys, flows, sitemaps, wireframes and other documents
// Simple, low effort but big impact tools for improving the visual presentation of your UX deliverables

Beyond the hamburger menu - What you need to know about designing for multiple devices.
Abstract: From myths to trends and best practice, actual usage, engagement, design patterns and interactions, we’ll go through the insights behinds the stats and take a look at the reality behind mobile and what really matters when designing for multiple devices.
The gap between physical and digital has blurred: we use Wiis to get in shape, computers to order a pizza, or our smartphone’s GPS to find hot dates. People want to interact with products and services when they want to and how they want to – and that’s not always on the web.
The future of design is everywhere the customer touches our product or service - digital or physical. User experience practitioners must move beyond the screen to designing a holistic customer experience that is seamless across channels and devices.
The Importance of Storytelling in Web Design, WordCamp Miami 2013Denise Jacobs
What if we strengthened our creations for the web by building them upon a foundation of Story? Let's explore the growing importance of storytelling in web design, how to communicate Story through all aspects of a website from content, to design, to ux; and how to apply key components of great storytelling in literature to the medium of the web.
Your inner critic is an unconscious deterrent that stands between the seeds of great ideas and the fruits of achievement, keeping you stuck by telling you you’re just faking it, that others have more talent, that you’ll never achieve the success you seek. Let's discover how to anatomize this pernicious inner force, and then learn techniques to banish this critic so that you can have the mental space and energy to let your true talents emerge -- and help you be a badass with your work.
UCD14 Talk - Anna Dahlstrom - Device Agnostic Design: How to get your content...UCD UK Ltd
Anna Dahlstrom - Device Agnostic Design: How to get your content to go anywhere
There was a time when we did glossy page designs and when those designs were pretty much what we saw in our desktop browsers. With the introduction and rise of smartphones, tablets, phablets there isn't one view of our designs anymore.
Instead, what we create needs to be able to adapt in a way that is suitable for the device as well as where and how it’s being used.
With responsive design we've learnt the basics of how to adapt content, interactions and layouts so that it works across devices. But with further developments in technology and screens, our content is going to go anywhere. As a result we need to move away from designing for specific devices to solutions that are device agnostic. For us as UX designers this means means letting content rather than devices guide layouts, and also increasingly moving away from designing and wireframing pages to focusing on the modules that those views are made up of. But there are other aspects to consider in device agnostic design.
In this talk Anna will walk through why device agnostic design matters, what it means and how we go about it.

Mobile UX 101 - current trends, behaviours, design considerations, common mistakes, platform choices and general advice for anyone entering the mobile design and development industry
Presented by Stephanie Rieger at Breaking Development in Dallas, April 11 2011 and Mobilism in Amsterdam, May 12, 2011.
Context is often cited as the single most important factor in design for the mobile medium. Mobile devices are of course 'mobile', but they are also small, always on, always with us, and can instantly connect us to the people we love. Mobile services must therefore be simple, social, and well-focussed--enabling us to quickly get things done on even the smallest screens.
This is all well and good, but mobile devices have changed. They may be mobile, but many have already stopped being 'phones'—nor do they resemble what we traditionally think of as computers. This presentation will explore how our use, and perception of mobile devices is changing, and how these changes may impact how we should design for them going forward.
Speed really matters on the mobile web, but how fast your website feels, the perception of speed is just as important. If we balance real speed and perceived speed as you design your website, and you’ll have a winning combination!
In this talk at WordCamp Lausanne 2018, I talked about web performance and the future of Mobile Web development.
What is responsive design? Why does it exist? How do we implement it? What challenges lie ahead in the world of responsive design? This presentation was given at WordPress Tel Aviv meetup to discuss these issues.

Slides from my talk at Generate London on the 23 September 2016 http://www.generateconf.com/london-2016 #generateconf
ABSTRACT
There was a time when we did glossy page designs and those designs were pretty much what we saw in our desktop browsers. With the rise of smartphones, tablets and smartwatches, there isn’t one view of our designs any more.
With further developments in technology and screens, our content could go anywhere. As a result we need to move away from designing for specific devices to solutions that are device-agnostic. For UX designers that means means letting content guide layouts, and moving away from designing pages to focusing on the modules that those views are made up of.
In this talk Anna will walk through why device-agnostic design matters, what it means and how we go about it.

Abstract:
Responsiv design ses av många som ett sätt att anpassa sina sajter till att användare surfar på mobilen eller surfplattan. Men responsivt är mycket mer än så. Det är ett sätt att framtidssäkra sina digitala tjänster för en framtid med nya enheter av alla olika storlekar.

Needing to produce some kind of deliverables throughout a project is inevitable: it might be user research reports to inform senior stakeholder; usability test results to communicate to developers; sketches and wireframes to pass on to web designers.
Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.

ABSTRACT
Whilst the work we do is not meant to be hanged on a wall for people to admire, nor is meant to be put in a drawer and forgotten about. Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for anyone starting out in UX, or who's worked with it for a while but is looking to improve the way they present their work.
What you'll learn
In this hands on workshop we'll walk through real life examples of why the UX of UX deliverables matter. We'll cover how who the reader is effects the way we should present our work, both on paper and verbally, and how to ensure that the work you do adds value. Coming out of the workshop you'll have practical examples and hands on experience with:
// How to adapt and sell your UX deliverable to the reader (from clients, your team, in house and outsourced developers)
// Guiding principles for creating good UX deliverables (both low and high fidelity)
// Best practice for presentations, personas, user journeys, flows, sitemaps, wireframes and other documents
// Simple, low effort but big impact tools for improving the visual presentation of your UX deliverables

Stories have played an important part in our societies and development through history. In the last few years it's gained attention as a tool for and important aspect in communication, and rightfully so. But it's also an integral part of the design process and at the Digital Pond I talked about why as well as how we can use it, from the start, during definition and development as well as going forwards.

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.
