Gaps, spaces and awesomeness - Alastair Somerville [Camp Digital 2017]

Editor's Notes

  1. Thank you I’ve come to talk about going from user experience design to human experience design. The good, the bad and the simply terrifying. People buy experiences. People seek out experiences. People look for them. They always have.
  2. The enormity of the universe and our individual smallness has been obvious for 10’s of thousands of years.
  3. We coped with this by doodling patterns onto the hugness. Graffiti or wireframes? You choose. We made the unknowably vast ours by drawing pictures onto it.
  4. Then we named things. Patterns then names.
