Slides from my Designing for multiple devices class at General Assembly in New York on the 7th of October 2013.
The rise in smartphones and tablets has not only changed the way we consume and interact with content, but also the way we design and approach it. This class will explore the shifting of user expectations, changes in behavior and consumption patterns, and what these advancements mean for designing products across different platforms.
Takeaways:
- An understanding of how user expectations have shifted over the last few years with regards to the use of multiple devices and how this has affected behavior and consumption patterns among consumers
- The impact this has on how to approach and design products and services that will be used on multiple devices
- An overview and understanding of the difference between mobile websites vs. responsive design vs. apps and the basics of each
- Guiding principles, resources and tools to help tackle the multiple device jungle

No matter how much we try to put ourselves into a mobile first mentality, it is hard for us to do so fully. Our access to PCs prevents us from experiencing mobile the way many in the world do.
We're currently fighting for parity among experiences. We're arguing that the mobile version shouldn't be a dumbed down version of the desktop site.
But we've set our sights too low. In a true Mobile First world, the mobile version should be the best experience. Mobile shouldn't just match the desktop experience, it should exceed it.
Adapting to Input — Smashing Conference NYCJason Grigsby
Responsive Web Design has forced us to accept that we don't know the size of our canvas, and we've learned to embrace the squishiness of the web. Input, it turns out, is every bit as challenging as screen size. We have tablets with keyboards, laptops that become tablets, laptops with touch screens, phones with physical keyboards, and even phones that become desktop computers.
In this session, Jason will guide you through the input landscape, showing you new forms of input like sensors and voice control, as well as new lessons about old input standbys. You'll learn the design principles necessary to build web sites that respond and adapt to whatever input people use.

WordCamp Columbus 2013: Custom Layouts Without Using Page TemplatesChip Bennett
Custom Layouts Without Using Page Templates Often, Themes use custom page templates to add layout options for static pages; but custom page templates are actually intended to be used for custom content, rather than for custom layouts. And by using custom page templates to define custom layouts, custom layouts are limited to static pages. Single blog posts don’t feel the love. This session will show you how to use custom post meta data and the body_class filter to define custom layouts for both static pages and single blog posts. As a bonus, this session will show you how to use custom post metaboxes, rather than forcing users to deal with custom fields.
Features a bonus presentation on the proper way to declare and use default values for Theme options.

https://generalassemb.ly/education/designing-for-multiple-devices-3-part-series/london/2172
ABSTRACT
This 90-minute session will focus on designing for touch across devices - including hybrids - as well as the challenges and opportunities of responsive content. We will cover how to find a balance between controlling layouts and making your products as responsive as possible. By the end of the session you'll have an understanding of:
- the different ways people physically hold and interact with their devices
- how hybrid devices impact design decisions
- why the mobile context matters and what you need to consider
- how to adapt content to device layout and orientations
- using content as the basis for breakpoints rather than devices
- and a framework to use as the starting point for approaching modular and responsive design from an information architect (IA) and user experience (UX) point of view
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.

A primer to mobile user experience. You'll learn:
‣ Why mobile matters
‣ What mobile is
‣ Mobile mindset
‣ Best practices & strategies
‣ Design principles
‣ UI elements & gestures
Crafting brilliant mobile experiences, goes beyond aesthetics and pixel perfect designs; it necessitates strong understanding of interactive elements, usability patterns, gestures and mobile hardware capabilities. All these, when harmonically blended, may lead to highly emotional and delightful experiences, which will target the hearts and minds of mobile users, and will ultimately keep them engaged in a mobile application.
The presentation covers most aspects of a mobile app lifecycle (starting from early Discovery stages to Store submission and on-going support) and helps designers understand and recognise mobile landscape evolution, screen limitations, huge hardware opportunities, and how to take advantage of touch interactions. Moreover, it provides best cases and practical information on core design components of a mobile app, creating an optimised information hierarchy, respecting mobile platforms usage patterns, prototyping, evaluating designs and more.
The presentation was delivered by Trebbble, a mobile strategy and development firm, in the scope of the Digitized 2014 Workshops.

The Drupal Apps module and the Open App Standard was built to solve a recurring problem: How can we use Drupal to package up functionality in a way that makes it simple to find, evaluate, install, and use for site builders? Apps are built on existing Drupal building blocks - modules, Features, and Kit-compliance - and can be interoperable between different Drupal distributions. But how do you know what should become an App and then how do you build one? (Presented by Frank Febbraro and James Walker)
The Magic and Pain of Responsive DesignMatthias Lau
Über das wertvolle Konzept des Responsive Designs wird viel geredet und es wird zurecht gehyped. In der Praxis sieht man sich allerdings schnell Herausforderungen gegenüber, die oft einen massiven Mehraufwand bedeuten. Wann Responsive Design Sinn macht, warum es so großartig ist, welche Stolpersteine so auf dem Weg liegen und was dies für die Erstellungs-Prozesse einer Webseite bedeutet, dies wird hier betrachtet.

Recently I started cataloging all the changes I would make to Glass and wrote up a (not perfectly organized) power point presentation. More recently Google announced and released Android wear, which is very much in line with some of my suggestions, so I felt validated that my ideas were relevant and thought I should share them.
Hopefully some of my other ideas are in line w/ what Google is thinking, because a technology like a Glass is a certainty to be in your household, but not in its current form.

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.

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.
Storytelling In Design - Conversion Hotel, Texel NL, 20 Nov 2016Anna Dahlström

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
As the number of devices we use on a daily basis grows, considering each device's role at different times, situations and contexts is becoming increasingly important. Our ability to control where a user is coming from and how they get around the experiences we design is fading. Yet our need to ensure we understand where they are in their journey, so that we can deliver the right content and interactions at the right time, and on the right device, is ever more important. In this talk I will look a the principles behind storytelling in design and how they can be translated onto a multi device landscape to help ensure we create better multi-device experiences for our users and healthier bottom lines for our businesses.

Storytelling In A Multi Device Landscape - Amuse, Budapest 30 Oct 2015Anna Dahlström
Slides from my talk at the Amuse conference in Budapest 28 - 30 October 2015. http://amuseconf.com/ #amuseconf
ABSTRACT
As the number of devices we use are increasing, considering each device's role at different times, situations and context is becoming increasingly important. Our ability to control where a user is coming from and how they get around the experiences we design are becoming less and less. But the one we can still understand is what a user wants, and needs. In this talk I will look a the principles behind storytelling in design and how they can be translated onto a multi device landscape.
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:
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.

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.
Dive into the innovative world of smart garages with our insightful presentation, "Exploring the Future of Smart Garages."
