Simplicity is one of the most important principles of design. It has been a pillar of design thinking for a very long time -- long before the advent of human factors, usability, and user experience. But, realistically, simplicity isn’t always simple. Commercial software, enterprise applications, software as a service (SaaS), and other highly interactive applications often have no choice but to do a great number of things, because they support a range of real world tasks, some of which are complex.
In this UXPA 2015 presentation, we discuss what to try when removing functionality or features isn’t an option. We provide practical questions to ask when deciding whether and how to simplify an application. And we summarize proven design techniques to use when simplifying applications, illustrated with examples from real projects.
Many of us work in wireframes and lightweight interactive prototypes to capture, illustrate, discuss, and refine the layout and behavior of the interface we are working on — to design the user experience. And we recognize that visual design is critical for getting to polished, usable, and delightful user experiences. Sometimes, user experience designers are responsible for executing the detailed visual design, but often that is handled by someone else, a visual design specialist.
What are the best ways to facilitate the understanding of the design intent and the communication between the experience design and visual design roles, throughout the lifecycle of a project?
Rachel Sengers and Jennifer Chaffee provide practical ideas and recommendations for ensuring a smooth and effective collaboration between people in UX design and visual design roles.
First Impressions Matter: Onboarding for First Time UsersDesign for Context
Presentation by Lisa Battle at the UXDC2015 conference in Washington, DC, on October 9, 2015.
What kind of first impression is your web or mobile application making? It may not be what you would hope. Many SaaS applications’ free trials are used only once. Sources say that most mobile apps are downloaded, used once and deleted. First time user experience, while critical to product success, may not be getting the attention it deserves.
During onboarding, a first-time user must transition from novice to an engaged, active and repeat user. They must immediately recognize what they can do, how they can do it, and why it benefits them. This talk presents design principles for great onboarding experiences that engage and inform new users, helping them become productive quickly. We discuss how to convey your value proposition, guide setup, remove barriers, streamline initial tasks via smart defaults, provide walkthroughs, and instruct at the point of use, drawing on examples from web applications, mobile apps, and devices.

Guiding Users Towards Action: Empowering Decisions Through Effective Data DesignDesign for Context
How do you provide meaningful insights that lead to action? When designing a UI, we need to consider what data to display, how to display it in a way that helps users interpret its meaning, and how best to indicate what can be done based on the data and its meaning. Good design can help users quickly grasp a situation, make better decisions, and take productive actions. We will provide a framework that describes a progressive evolution of data displays and actions, and share a broad range of examples, from consumer products to enterprise web applications, to discuss ways to design effective data displays and integrate actions.

Micro-visualizations: Small Visualizations that Make a Big ImpactDesign for Context
Presentation by Rachel Sengers and Lisa Battle at the UXDC2017 conference in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2017.
We hear a lot about visualizations for big data these days, but what about small data? The power of communicating data visually can’t be overstated. When designing for expert users, we often need to convey a lot of information at a glance to help them make quick decisions and work efficiently. For infrequent or novice users, a visual overview of a process or concept can provide orientation and help reduce the risk of mistakes. Enter the micro-visualization, a way of packaging detailed information in an easily digestible, visual way. In this presentation, we present examples of several different types of micro-visualizations and discuss how they can be used effectively to improve user experience.
Design and technology have always been in close relation. We’ve designed amazing objects, on the cutting edge of technology. So, if today’s normal was unimaginable yesterday, what will be tomorrow’s ordinary? And how do designers and their clients prepare for that?

Build Answer-generating Apps that Users Love: Development best practices for ...TIBCO Jaspersoft
More and more employees (not just data analysts or C-level execs) are expected to make data-driven decisions, yet only 20–25% of workers have access to business intelligence (BI) products. And when asked, end users don’t want to use a “BI tool”—another interface to learn, another login—they want easily accessible answers. Instead of offering a standalone dashboard, the new trend is to embed analytics into applications that are already used every day.
This workshop series features a brand new demo application—created by TIBCO Jaspersoft and projekt202—that illustrates and teaches you how to create answer-generating applications. Over four webinars, we will show you to the what and why of data-as-a-feature applications and how you can build your own.
Data-as-a-Feature webinar sessions:
- Build answer-generating apps that users love: Learn best practices for making data valuable to your application users
- Getting started: How to set up your data-as-a-feature project
- Your data in your app: Best practices for embedding interactive reports and visualizations in your app
- Managing the experience + ad hoc reporting: Handling security, multi-tenancy, and self-service reporting for your data-as-a-feature app

How UX Can Drive the Vision of Future Products - Arttu NiskasaariUXPA International
Our existing B2B product has been developed for 15 years and the need for complete redesign was acknowledged in 2013.
Unusual for the software business in our country and field of business, this project for the brand new solution was driven by UX from the beginning. The main target was to introduce new level of collaboration between all company functions to formulate a shared vision for the future product.
It took us one year to move from user research to prototypes, and in the meantime our UX team grew from two to six persons. Hence, we will also talk a bit about organizing the work of the team to support several products and projects without sacrificing the long-term project.
In this session we will share our experiences and lessons-learned from working our way towards that vision with research based top-down approach.

Designing the Developer Experience - Tanja Bach, Jacob Bo Tiedemann
Working with software that some other people have built, is not only daily business for private and business users but also for developers. Just like any other product, a product for developers needs to solve their problems and focus on the right jobs-to-be-done in order to be successfully adopted by the developer community. In this talk, we will explain why the developer experience matters not only to developers but also to the business. We will share our learnings and real-world examples of how we created a developer experience for a cloud infrastructure product and an IoT platform that the developers love.

IA-for-AI: An evolving framework for a changing IA practiceDesign for Context
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dramatically changing—reshaping—the human and design landscape of computers, the internet, and society. It is increasingly used in engines behind many decision-making tools and information resources, as well as in machines (vehicles, drones, robots, etc.).
AI uses information models, structured data/content, real-world contextual sensor data, and formalized instructions to shape the machine’s “understanding” of information spaces and tasks. These elements are familiar to anyone working in the field of IA and UX. But the focus is changing: We now need methods to shape software that learns dynamically in real-time interaction with users.
This talk challenges us to engage in the transformational change to our practice, designing for and with AI. Alongside a reflection on our vital roles, I present an emerging Collaboration/Action Framework to support AI design, helping us think about language, models, methods, and how we communicate with developers and stakeholders. During the conference, rich conversations emerged within the IA community about how our involvement in creating responsible and engaging AI tools will change and shape the IA community over the coming years.

Discussion of various Design for Context website projects where archival collection information (data, images, categorization) has been incorporated with art object data, historical events data, etc. Presented to the Linked Art Working Group, which is developing standards for shareable linked data in the museum, archives and cultural field. Presented 16-Nov-2022.
With art/culture provenance information, dealing with the inevitable uncertainties and subjectivity creates challenges for modeling provenance as linked data. Over the course of a number of projects, Design for Context has worked with art provenance. In this presentation, we outline some questions and considerations for others.
Hello, meet Hola! Design for mixed-language interfacesDesign for Context
A global online user population necessitates the exchange of content from different sources, and the ability to aggregate multilingual content is a critical requirement within many research and business contexts. Mixed-language content provides a rich information set, while adding another layer of complexity and scale, which we can address through thoughtful UX design. To effectively reach a global audience and provide access to content in multiple languages, we must structure mixed-language content to support its successful presentation and delivery, and provide innovative designs that facilitate exploration.
In this talk given at the UXPA conference, we discuss real-world examples for:
– Presenting content in multiple languages so it co-exists well on the screen and in search
– Designing interfaces that support navigating, exploring, and understanding content available in multiple languages
– Structuring content to support a flexible, scalable multilingual information management approach
Some of the examples in this slideshow are from projects we have worked on, and some are not.
How IAs Can Shape the Future of Human-AI CollaborationDesign for Context
Artificial intelligence is described as an “emerging intelligence,” but the emergent collaboration with humans is what fosters positive personal, societal, and environmental outcomes. We outline a framework that Information Architects can use to think about the key issues in designing for AI systems.
Good facilitation skills are essential for many content strategy tasks and projects. Guiding internal colleagues as well as external groups to shared, successful outcomes serves essential project needs, including: team and stakeholder consensus, a clear strategic vision, and the ability to see content in context.
An effective facilitator does this by considering and balancing multiple individual perspectives and priorities within over-arching business goals--while also keeping user needs and goals at the forefront.

Presented by Duane Degler, Design for Context, at the NFAIS 2019 Annual Conference in Alexandria, VA, on February 14, 2019.
Semantic search seeks to enhance the meaning in content, to more closely align the searcher and the available information resources. This means there is a strong user-centered aspect needed to unlock the benefits. What scenarios, needs, experiences, and mental models do our user bring to their search task? How does that inform our modeling of the “meaning” derived from the content? How do we avoid encoding rigidity of meaning by creating learning opportunities for both the users and the underlying search index and algorithms?
As we model content, we recognize that its character, structure, and context all matter. Alongside strategies for incorporating taxonomies and indexing the content itself, we will explore how you can prepare a knowledge graph that increases the potential for aligning meaning between your content and your users.
On the user experience side, we will introduce design approaches such as supporting iteration for exploratory search, modeling a language landscape, applying user context identification, creating feedback loops based on results selection and use, and using visual signposting for lightweight semantics in the user interface.
Know Thyself, and To Thine Users Be True: Understanding and Managing Biases t...Design for Context
Presented by Design for Context's Karen Bachmann at the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) Conference June 28, 2018, in Puerto Rico.
Despite our best intentions, UX practitioners are subject to hidden biases and barriers as any of our fellow humans. It’s more important than ever to understand our own biases to make sure we can be most effective in our communication and our design work. Increasing application of AI and machine learning as well as ever increasing amounts of data on people particularly are areas where hidden and unmitigated biases can create bad and even harmful outcomes. We explore ways to discover and discuss biases constructively before they undermine work, look at case studies of products that suffered from hidden biases, and consider pragmatic approaches to manage their influence in our projects.
Big Data in Small Graphics: Micro-Visualizations in SaaS and Enterprise Appli...Design for Context
Presented by Design for Context's Lisa Battle and Rachel Sengers at the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) Conference June 26, 2018, in Puerto Rico.
The power of communicating data visually can’t be overstated. We often need to convey a lot of information at a glance to help expert users make quick decisions and work efficiently. For infrequent or novice users, a visual overview of a process or concept can provide orientation and help reduce the risk of mistakes. For all users, the micro-visualization is a small but powerful way to package detailed information in an easily digestible, visual form. Individually or arranged into arrays, these compact visual elements pack a huge punch, giving your users the ability to quickly assess trends, spot outliers, and identify priorities. This presentation will explore the use of data micro-visualizations to enhance user experience and explain how to utilize pre-attentive processing and gestalt mechanisms to design more effective visualizations.
Archives Strengthening Historical Narrative: Sharing digital and linked data ...Design for Context
Private collections provide engaging windows into little-known subjects that, when made discoverable, are incredibly relevant to many diverse audiences. The Texas Coastal Bend Collection (TCBC) is a digital-first private collection that offers rich insight into the culture of the Texas Coastal Bend ranching communities, starting with the Irish immigration in 1834. The site’s topic-based framework immerses people in the region’s cultural history. Rich, well-structured metadata (subjects, people, places, historic events, relationships) allows every page to be a gateway for exploring over 200 artistic photographs, 9,000 images, archival documents, books, maps, genealogies, and 1,400 hours of oral history.
We describe the strategies and tools that enable rich exploration of the TCBC’s unique resources, its maintenance by a small dedicated staff, and how meaningful digital connections with other institutions can foster storytelling across an array of subjects. The digital approach that underpins the TCBC, incorporating highly structured categorization, linked data, IIIF, and a unique audio player, provides insights that can be used by other museums and archives.
Going Global: The Intersection of IA and UX in a Multilingual EnvironmentDesign for Context
A global online community necessitates the exchange of content from many sources and across languages. Advances in the semantic web and linked data enable the aggregation of diverse content. Multilingual content provides potential for a richer information set while adding a layer of complexity to our projects. As information architects, we need to structure multilingual content to support its successful presentation and delivery. As user experience designers, we need to provide innovative designs that facilitate exploration of that content. How do different data modeling, linking, and ontology decisions affect the UX design? How can IA and UX support each other?
In this talk at IA Summit 2018 in Chicago, IL, USA, we focus on two specific areas:
- Structuring multilingual source content and enabling multilingual authors to contribute to a repository
- Designing wayfinding that supports navigating, exploring, and understanding content in sites that are sourced from multiple languages
Drawing from our experiences in the digital humanities space, we discuss real world examples for:
- Data modeling strategies, ontologies, taxonomies and metadata that support a flexible, scalable multilingual information management system
- Several multilingual data-driven interfaces and what they reveal about the challenges or opportunities in harmonizing multilingual content
- Patterns for displaying and navigating to content that is provided in different languages
Just as building and city architects can’t control every use and evolution of their spaces over time, it is also true that information architects need to anticipate – but not control – the various people who engage with information spaces. This includes regular inhabitants, visitors, and those who never engage directly with the space but have a more distant interaction – suppliers of goods and services, and people who are affected by the decisions and actions of those within the space.
Built spaces are not static, they are dynamic. The idea of designing your IA to respond to dynamic conditions is not new, but what does that mean in practice? How do we approach our work and the additional responsibilities that arise in these spaces?
We can create ecosystems that accommodate a range of different information sources and uses. We can also support the immediate goals and needs of the current stakeholders, while anticipating the long-term evolution of what we build. We will incorporate terms we know into our process – terms like adaptive, responsive, flexible, emergent, empowering – but with deeper meanings, as they have to guide the use of sophisticated information models and advanced/AI technologies.
This talk provides an overview of the dynamic information landscape, positions the role of IA firmly at the heart of its ecosystem design, and provides ideas for weaving this into your practice.
Integrating Taxonomies and Ontologies into Enterprise Search and BrowseDesign for Context
Presented by Duane Degler, on February 6, 2018, at the Data Harmony User Group in Albuquerque, NM.
Over the course of multiple search projects, we have found ways to increase taxonomy integration into search and browse. For users to get the greatest value out of your taxonomies, the structures need to be woven into the indexing strategies for search and browse. You also can incorporate capabilities into the user interface to help users interact with taxonomy terms in ways that increase usability and relevance. Ultimately, you want to leverage your taxonomies into feedback loops that help you refine both the taxonomy and the content over time. New features in Data Harmony can potentially extend your capabilities even further. This talk will briefly outline approaches for drawing the greatest value from your taxonomies for your users.
Presentation by Michael Owens and Lesley Humphreys at the Baltimore UX Meetup, on May 9, 2017.
As user experience professionals, we know that the principles of universal design benefit everyone: we should strive to make our information and our applications accessible to all. However, accessibility can seem like an overwhelming topic – where do we start? What are the guidelines? What is the UX designer’s role in the process? In this presentation, we introduce the standards, including the recently published WCAG 2.1 guidelines, look at some assistive technologies, and explore the types of deliverables that can be used to specify accessibility compliant interactions.
Presentation by Karen Bachmann at the UXPA2017 conference in Toronto, Ontario, on June 6, 2017.
Ethics is fundamentally about doing the right thing for people, not about complying with laws. Yet incorporating ethics into our design practice can be challenging. Even the discussion can make people uncomfortable. This presentation covers how to talk carrots (value) and not sticks (legality) to make ethics a core human-centered design constraint.
Split Focus: Designing Applications for Multiple Monitor SetupsDesign for Context
Presentation by Lisa Battle, Rachel Sengers, and Michael Owens at the UXPA2017 conference in Toronto, Ontario, on June 8, 2017.
The next big challenge on the horizon for UX in application design is not about the small screen—it’s about going large. Large monitors keep getting cheaper – and higher resolution – so many users working with SaaS and enterprise applications today have multiple monitors on their desks. It is frustrating for those users when applications do not scale well to a larger size, wasting screen real estate, and not taking advantage of the additional monitors to support side-by-side comparisons and multi-tasking that are common to knowledge workers in many domains. As UX design consultants, we are increasingly seeing opportunities to improve user experience and productivity for business users by utilizing multiple monitors. In this presentation, we discuss new UX design patterns and challenges that arise in software and web-based application design for multiple monitors, illustrating them with real project examples.
Perspectives on Open Source for Museums’ Digital ProjectsDesign for Context
Presentation by Duane Degler (Design for Context), David Newbury (Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh), and Robert Sanderson (The J. Paul Getty Trust) at the American Alliance of Museums 2017 Annual Meeting & MuseumEXPO in St. Louis, MO, on May 10, 2017.
Open-source software has transformed the technology industry, and the movement's goals of community and access align closely with our museums' missions. So why do our open-source projects so often fail to succeed? Three experienced panelists offer three different perspectives and discuss topics such as the role of community and how to foster it, the importance of maintenance and maintainers, Not-Invented-Here, reputation capital, alignment issues with grant-funded projects, business models for open-source projects, and long-term sustainability.
User Experience Design Considerations for Multi-Museum CollaborationsDesign for Context
We increasingly engage in projects where we are asked to accommodate multiple collections, sites, and institutions into the planning, data modeling, and overall user experience. And we see a trend where grant funders actively encourage collaborations, so these kinds of digital projects may become common. It is important to think beyond the typical patterns of grouping sets of objects into institution-specific views, or presenting a mash-up as if it is just one big collection. As we think about collaborations involving online collections, we have identified human-centered user experience considerations and requirements to share with the community.
Designing Great Dashboards for SaaS and Enterprise ApplicationsDesign for Context
Presentation by Lisa Battle at the UXPA2016 conference in Seattle, WA, on June 3, 2016.
Many SaaS and enterprise applications today provide dashboards giving users an overview of how their business is performing and summarizing the work that needs to be done. Dashboards present a great opportunity to improve user experience by providing quick answers to users’ common questions, but they are also full of potential pitfalls for design. As UX design consultants, we are frequently asked to design (or redesign) dashboards for applications, and through that experience we have established best practices for dashboard design. We will discuss our approach to ensuring a good user experience for dashboards, focusing on 8 principles of UX design that are particularly relevant and illustrating them with real project examples.
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.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
