Digital Prototypes: Work Smarter, Not HarderMichelle Chin
“Work smarter, not harder” is an adage we’ve heard at some point in our careers. From our vantage point, it’s as good in theory as it is in practice, especially when it comes to something as complex as wireframing for responsive sites. In this session we review our approach for creating efficient wireframes that facilitate a tight working relationship between UX and Dev and also ‘wow’ the client. Plus, we’ll talk about the pros and cons of the approach and how best to implement this solution at your workplace, for your client.

Organised and presented an introductory labcamp in the process of fast prototyping for mobile app development - outlining user needs, exploring layouts for necessary content, applying common user interface patterns, considering functionalities, features and validating designs. Devised hands-on group activity; using pen, paper and Marvel App to rapidly sketch and manipulate concepts for a mobile eCommerce fashion product detail page to test.
Graphic design is a field that is quickly changing, both creatively and technically, and while it is easy to get caught up in learning new technical skills, it is just as important to focus improving and pushing the limits of our creativity.

38. ANC report admits party has failed
Johannesburg - The ANC has conceded it has dismally failed to meet its own delivery targets
for the five years up to this year on rooting out corruption, reducing unemployment, and
narrowing the gap between the poor and the rich.
However, the ruling party said it made significant progress in improving education and
healthcare, especially in the matric results and the reduction of HIV/Aids.
It had also exceeded its target in youth employment, education and training.
These are among the findings of party’s internal draft report on its implementation of
government priorities between 2009 and this year.
Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane presented the report at the ANC’s lekgotla on
Friday, a few days before the party consolidates its nomination list for the election candidates.
The party had, in its 2009 election manifesto, identified the fight against crime and corruption,
the creation of decent work, education, healthcare and rural development, food security and
land reform as its five key priorities for the next five years. This year’s election manifesto has
stuck to these priority areas.
Titled the “Close-out Report on the Implementation of Government Priorities for 2009-2014”,
the 162-page document, seen by The Star, was presented to a workshop last month.
It is to be tabled before the cabinet lekgotla.
For all its intention to clamp down on corruption and face the fifth democratic elections with a
cleaner image, the ANC appears to have an uphill battle in curbing this malady.
Of the 100 people with assets of R5 million obtained through corruption that the party had
targeted to convict by this year, only 41 have been successfully convicted.
About 790 people are under investigation, while freezing orders with assets estimated to be
valued at R1.3 billion have been obtained.
The ANC’s own rating has highlighted this crucial target as “not achieved”.
The report identified “slow reporting”, “identification of cases that meet the target criterion” of
having R5m assets, and inadequate skilled investigators as among the problems hindering
progress in cracking down on fraudsters.
Other impediments listed include unco-operative witnesses, criminal investigations being
hampered by suspects who remain in office after being charged, and lack of finalisation of
complex cases.
The report further shows the ANC’s target on employment is “not likely to be achieved”.
