Travelocity staged an infomration and training week for the employees in the Curtomer Experience Group. This presentation is a high-level primer about IA, its origins and its practice
We "see" and use patterns every day - not only in software user interfaces. For example, doors and windows of a house follow a well known mechanism or "pattern' and a user expects the them to conform to certain behavioral characteristics like "open" or "close". Usability or HCI (Human Computer Interaction) Patterns are no different, they contribute to an intuitive, easy to use and consistent software user interface. In this talk you will learn what Usability Patterns are, how they can improve user interface design and lead to better user experience. Examples for web app and game patterns are presented and discussed with the audience.
Being human (Human Computer Interaction)Rahul Singh
The presentation describes the increasing dependence of the human kind on the Computer systems. The increased variable usage of the machine and much more.

In the first Service Design Drinks of the year, we’ll hear service designers Eva Hernando, Abi Golestanian, and Mireia Pumarola talk about how we at Fjord Berlin design for the future of healthcare. With rapid developments in topics such as gene therapy and personalised care, to name a few, it is more important than ever that we understand not only what these changes are but the driving forces behind them, so that we can adapt our current design processes to cater for such a challenging industry.
History and future of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction DesignAgnieszka Szóstek
This is the first presentation given for the master course at HITLab, Canterbury University, Christchurch, New Zealand. It shows the snippets of the history of the field of human computer interaction that led to its increasing popularity at the present.
Software Architecture and the role of the Architect has been discussed and deliberated in detail. Architecture still plays major role in success of projects. While the fundamentals remain strong, how architects can contribute in teams success while in agile is an ongoing journey. As the team member endowed with skills and wisdom acquired over the experience frame, we argue Architects are best positioned to prepare a road-map of architectural aspects and participate in planning together with product owners and release owners thus enabling a more meaningful planning and guidance system. Based on Risk and Cost Based Architecture concept by Eltjo Poort and based on CAFFEA framework by Jan Bosch and team, we applied it in projects which led to seeing it as a six stepped approach described in the slides.

The Changing Role of Software Architecting in the Digital Age Uwe Zdun
The Internet scale of systems, the increasing rate of technology evolution,
and the broad adoption of lean and agile practices have triggered a profound
change in not only application and infrastructure architectures but also the
software architect's roles and responsibilities. This talk reviews the field's
state of the art and identifies key aspects with regard to the changing role
of software architectecting in the digital age. Both the role of the architect
and the architecture evolve, as well as the notion of architectural decision making.
We will discuss the implications for the interplay of architecting processes
and the artifacts created during and related to architecting.

UX is omnipresent nowadays and will grow more and more the tool of innovation. Companies are becoming aware of the vitality of adopting this technology from the start. The Importance of UX is a presentation of how we as a UX Design Team implement UX in projects.
The problems we set out to solve aren’t always the ones that need solving. Adam Polansky will talk about some different ways that you can get under the hood with problems and investigate ways to help real problems present themselves and the criteria you can use to go after them.
IAS18 Fit and Finish: The Importance of Presentation Value to Your DeliverablesAdam Polansky
Revised for IAS18. Discussion about gauging your audience and your deliverables in terms of fidelity. Working lo-fi to hi-fi and doing it publicly. Breaking free from the standard canon of UX deliverables and the best tools you can use.
Speaking to Small Rooms - UX Australia 2017Adam Polansky
Workshop slides from UX Australia - 7 August 2017
Public speaking isn’t just for big rooms with a podium and microphone.
Sometimes it’s just you and 5,10 maybe 20 people. They might be your clients or stakeholders or your project team. Any time you address a group, you need to get your message across and know you’ll be understood. Prep and practice are always important but when you’re speaking close-up there are different things to think about and opportunities you don’t have in a conference hall.
In this half-day workshop, Adam Polansky will cover:
Preparation with long or short notice
Delivery and room dynamics
What to consider when you speak to executives
Keeping the conversation alive after the meeting
We’ll even talk about giving a pitch.
This session will set you up to own the room the next time you have to present.
Fit & Finish: The Importance of Presentation Value in UX DeliverablesAdam Polansky
The most important UX deliverables are your thoughts and observations. Wireframes, Journey Maps, Personae, and slide decks are just the vehicles we use to communicate our ideas. Your content is critical but style plays a role in getting to express your thoughts. Style adds to the context.
- Let’s talk about:
- Deliverables from low-fi to high-fi
- Tools and technique
- Non-traditional deliverables
- How to gauge what’s appropriate for different circumstances
We’ll add some good stuff to your toolbox and give you options the next time you deliver your great ideas.
CanUX16 - Blurred Lines - Considering Physicality in Digital DesignAdam Polansky
Long gone are the days when digital design meant creating apps for someone sitting upright, 18-24 inches away from a screen. Our phones are our computers. We wear our notification systems. We move through a world that plots our position and responds in different ways depending on whether we’re in a restaurant, at a bus stop, near a retailer or at home.
Join Adam as he talks about conceptualizing applications that not only take-in a screen presence but must extend to the unique ways we use technologies and the physical environments that go beyond the screen.
BDLA16 Unpacking UX - Understanding how your skill sets fit togetherAdam Polansky
Big Design Latin America 2016 was held in Quito, Ecuador. This workshop was designed to help different practitioners understand how their work rolls-up into the broader UX umbrella and to help foster an ongoing UX Community in the region.
Presented at the Enterprise UX Meet-Up in Austin 2.24.16
Discusses ways UX professionals to build and gain trust in organizations that aren't immediately disposed to support them. Examine the different roles that can help you along with understanding their concerns and pressures. Use the tools you already have to shed light on the value UX brings to an organization.
I got my first Design job in 1983 with a small ad agency working for a remarkable man. 30 years later, I talk about the lessons I learned and tell stories about how I learned them.
Ideas & Innovation: Simple Premise - Small StartsAdam Polansky
Ideas & Innovation: Simple Premise - Small Starts Innovation is a word that is commonly used and seldom defined.
Ideas occur all the time but do they all deserve the time and effort necessary to realize them?
There is a startlingly simple definition for innovation because innovation, by itself, is simple. It’s also a form of the creative process and can’t be obtained on demand. But when you do come upon something innovative, the real work begins: You have to examine and justify a new idea. You have to convince others that your idea is worthwhile.
Adam Polansky will give you that simple definition and show you how to gauge the merit of an idea along with a short case study about a grass-roots idea that didn’t turn out as planned – it turned out better! He’ll also show you how to frame the discussions you’ll need to have in order to get your ideas off the ground and suggest some other avenues available to move from concept to concrete.
Presentations - It Ain't All About The PowerPointAdam Polansky
This presentation was given at the Big (D)esign Conference in Dallas. Someone titled the session "Presenting in Politically Charged Environments" I don't know who did that but it sounded kind of dangerous so I didn't complain to anyone.
A Process By Any Other Name...: Applying Information Architecture with bridge...Adam Polansky
This is my presentation from the 2006 IA Summit in Vancouver, BC. The summary is that the practice of IA is not about artifacts but the thinking that goes into them and the way you assess which artifacts to use.
Information Architecture & Why you care about it as a designerAdam Polansky
The Art Institute of Dallas recently added IA courses to their design and multimedia degree plans. I worked with the instructors to revise the curriculum to make it more relevant to actual practice. I also give the introduction lecture.
This presentation is not intended to make converts but rather to expose designers to the role of IA, help them understand the value and be able to identify them in the wild.
Faceted Feature Analysis: Increasing Integrity Through Needs AnalysisAdam Polansky
This article will explain a process called “Faceted Feature Analysis”. The facets refer to the three characterizing facets within any project those being; User Value, Business Value and Ease of Implementation. It also refers to the three constraints that govern every project, those being; Quality, Cost and Time. The process involves characterizing facets and crossing them with the constraints.
IA and RIA: You know more than you think you doAdam Polansky
I’ve been working as an Information Architect for nearly ten years but it wasn’t until recently that I had the opportunity to work on the development of a rich internet application or RIA. While I had made some effort to get an understanding of what an effort like that might involve, like many things, you can’t really get a clear idea what it’s like to do something until you actually do it.
This presentation describes my recent involvement in the development of an enterprise-level rich Internet application. It outlines the things I think are the same, different as well as a few pitfalls to avoid.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

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.

2. "I thought the explosion of data needed an architecture, needed a series of systems, needed systemic design, a series of performance criteria to measure it." — Richard Saul Wurman Architect & Graphic Designer Information Architecture – Beginnings The term Information Architect was coined by Richard Saul Wurman in 1976 out of his reaction to a society that daily creates massive amounts of information, but with little care or order.

3. Information Architecture – Beginnings 1998 “ The Polar Bear Book” By Lou Rosenfeld & Peter Morville – the definitive handbook Suddenly bunches of people who’d been doing the same sort of work had a name for it.
5. Information Architects – Who are they? They were the people who naturally occupied the middle spaces - between business needs, design & development. They did whatever was necessary, they used whatever they could to capture , distill and communicate ideas between all the interested parties on a project.
6. Information Architects – What’s the need? In the beginning… Sites and budgets where smaller Timelines and the spaces between milestones where shorter Everybody chipped-in IA needs were answered by the common sense efforts of everyone on the project. Stakes were relatively low
7. Information Architects – What’s the need? As time went on… Sites and budgets became larger Timelines and the spaces between milestones became longer Everybody had to specialize more Stakes became higher The needs were always there. The question was who could address them. IA needs had to be answered explicitly by someone. DVD Cover Art: Ocean’s Eleven 2001 Warner Bros.
15. Information Architects – What do they do? What lead up to the wireframe? - 2 minute brainstorm Who is the user? What does the user need? What does the user expect? What does the user’s path look like? How many pages or views are in that path? How many alternative paths and what do they look like? Will existing systems support this design? Is there content to populate these pages? Are there standards or common practices to consider? Are there existing precedents? What do our competitors do?
16. Every development process includes three basic areas of activity. The job of the IA is to find ways to close the gaps between them. Information Architects – What do they do? Idea Plan Build IA IA

21. Information Architecture – Where’s it going? Even though the role grew out of the development of web sites, it has begun to move off the screen and into the tangible world. Any enterprise that values the way humans interact with their products or move through their spaces can benefit from the principles of Information Architecture. Electronics Defense Contracting Transportation Consumer Packaging Industrial Design Public Spaces Disaster Planning Cover Art from: Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future (Paperback) by Joseph J. Corn and Brian Horrigan
22. Information Architecture – What’s the payoff? Simple models to ask and answer questions about an application earlier rather than later Seeing the big picture and switching gears to the granular Expert user advocacy at the ground level Balancing business and user value with technical constraints Saves cost & time and ensures quality down stream
