This presentation discusses principles of visual design for websites and interactive media. It begins by stating that the presentation will start from the beginning of the design process. It then covers several topics relating to design including visual grammar, mental models, mapping, affordance, systems, motives, nostalgia, rhetoric, vernacular, humor, semiotics, typography, color, restraint and reduction, play, personality, self-expression, and courage and conviction. Examples of innovative website designs are provided for several principles. The presentation concludes by thanking the audience.

From a presentation at IIT ID's In the Loop speaker series, given on 31 March, 2015.
Our roles as designers are dependent on language. We rely on verbal, visual, and temporal languages in order to communicate our work. As our jobs become more than just “design”—from choreographers of natural interfaces to policy makers—there is an inherent conflict with what it means to “practice design.” We are defining ourselves (and being defined) by a term that is overextended. How should we refer to ourselves, and what should the world make of us?
With a new period of design dawning, previous notions of strategy and craft are blurring. We have been given permission to do meaningful work; at this prime moment we must clarify ourselves to establish the continuous integrity of our field. We must articulate the difference between practicing responsible design and simply making.

The Dramatic Story Canvas: Simply Document, Present, and Manage Memorable Bus...Rod King, Ph.D.
When you were a kid, what was your favorite fairy tale? Cinderella? Pied Piper of Hamelin? Little Red Riding Hood? Pinocchio? Imagine for a moment … Imagine … What made your favorite fairy tale so memorable? I guess that in every case, our answer is in one word: Drama!
In today’s world of information explosion and big data, stories are becoming ever important for people to quickly make sense out of a deluge of information. As I noted a while ago, people quickly forget about presentations that contain detailed information and data. However, the memories and feelings of engaging stories could last for a lifetime. In today’s world of hyper-competition, information explosion, and big data, our best chance of standing out in the crowd is to create and present memorable stories. But, how can one simply create dramatic and memorable business stories?
W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, in their bestselling business book “Blue Ocean Strategy,” provide entertaining stories of how Blue Ocean startups disrupted established Red Ocean companies. Who can forget Kim & Mauborgne’s intriguing stories of Cirque du Soleil vs. Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus; Southwest Airlines vs. Established Long Haul Airlines; Yellow Tail Wine vs. Premium and Budget Wines? At the heart of every Blue Ocean story is the archetypal conflict of Top Dog (“Villain” in Red Ocean) vs. Underdog (“Hero” in Blue Ocean); in biblical terms: Goliath vs. David. At the heart of every Blue Ocean story is the archetypal Hero’s Journey which involves transformation or disruption of the Red Ocean.
In Blue Ocean stories, the Top Dog and Underdog initially compete for the attention and wallet of Dissatisfied Customers and/or Non-customers. Consequently, the Top Dog, Underdog, and Dissatisfied Customer constitute a triangle which I am referring to as the “War Triangle.” In short, the Top Dog, Underdog, and Dissatisfied Customer are engaged in a Business War Game. The War Triangle underscores the importance of strategy and tactics of players to deliver awesome customer experiences in a business war game.
The War Triangle (Dissatisfied Customer-Top Dog-Underdog) is directly inspired and corresponds to Stephen Karpman’s Drama Triangle (Victim-Persecutor-Rescuer) for illustrating the dynamics of relationships in dysfunctional teams. In his seminal publication on “Fairy Tales and Script Drama Analysis”, Karpman argues that the memorability of fairy tales such as in Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Pied Piper of Hamelin is driven by the conflict, dysfunctionality, or chaos that is inherent in the Drama Triangle. Here, the inevitable conclusion is that the inherent dynamics and surprise of the Drama Triangle as well as War Triangle account for the engagement and memorability of Blue Ocean stories.

What REALLY Differentiates The Best Content Marketers From The RestRoss Simmonds
I’ve been privileged to work with brands from all over the world in the last few years. Through this work, I’ve also had a chance to meet, become friends with, work with and collaborate with some of the best content marketers in the world. Some of these marketers have their faces plastered in magazines while others keep it low key and aren’t anything close to household names.
When I first started my career, I made it my mission to learn from the best. I studied and read books from the advertising greats and consumed every blog post I could fine from the top modern day marketers I could fine. Through discussions, research and studying the craft, I’ve been able to identify and uncover a few common traits that are found in the best content marketers today. If you want to be a great content marketer, you need to know what it takes to be considered such. Here’s a few traits that differentiate the best content marketers from the rest.
20 Fantastic Flat Icons and Their Meaning In Logo DesignDesignMantic
Icons tell stories. And when it comes to building visual identity for a brand, iconography plays a big part. Icons, incorporated into logos, not just make brand identities visually appealing but they also tend to deliver brand’s vision or underline message more effectively. Each icon ensues an inherent meaning that sparks a certain kind of psychological behavior, resulting in emotive consumer association with the brand. Because people tend to identify and appreciate these icons right away even in various colors or screen sizes. Hence, selecting the right icon for your logo is of great importance and must be treated carefully.
Here are 20 flat icons and their hidden meanings that make them effective in logo design.
As designers, we manipulate all that is available to us, aiming to present ideas in a visually engaging form. But what are our motives, and why do we go in a particular direction? Why do great designers have the courage to do things a certain way, and succeed?
Simon will explore how web designers can improve their thought processes by stepping away from the browser, and in turn bring clearer, well-reasoned thinking back into their work. He’ll introduce established and new ways of thinking, and key points of influence that can assist with any web design process.
A visual language informs all design, from architecture to print. Fluency in the same language drawn on by Bauhaus, mid-century Swiss, or postmodern design is essential for brilliant web design. In this practical talk, ground uniquely web-based interactions—from complex CSS3 animations and rotations to JavaScript behaviors—using that time-tested visual primer. Take a more considered approach to choices, evoke the desired emotive responses, learn how to better articulate your design decisions. Extend graphic design’s grammar into a visual dialect of web design that guides us to smarter, beautifully balanced juxtapositions of elements in our new, multidimensional web experiences.
What will the web look like in the next few years, and how will we shape it? Looking at where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going, Simon will share his experiences and ideas. He'll consider how traditional design theory, our ability to adapt, and the courage of our own convictions will help us strive for a better tomorrow.

going through process of content creation and how to use different tools that could help you engaged more with your audience.
connecting design thinking to make the content is human centric one.
Question everything - Designing more effectively for social impactRichard Anderson
Standard human-centered design practices are often well-suited for well-structured problems, but fall short for considering the broader social implications of solutions to well-structured problems and for attempting to address ill-structured or so-called “wicked societal problems” (e.g., our broken healthcare system, homelessness, addiction to social media or electronic devices).
Richard will review many of the common characteristics of well-structured, ill-structured, and wicked problems, and, with the workshop attendees, will discuss their implications.
Then, by questioning everything about the standard design process for well-structured problems, Richard will identify common process shortcomings, present examples of projects that ignored such shortcomings as well as of projects that didn’t, and provide attendees with the opportunity to experience ways of how to address such shortcomings.
Attendees will emerge better able to target social impact intentionally and better able to design for achieving that intentional social impact.
Resumen de ponencias de TedxBilbao 2011 que se celebrará el 30 de septiembre en la sede de EITB. Esta edción está dedicada al diseño en todas sus facetas.
In 2006 Simon wrote a successful book about learning CSS. Building the web wasn’t easy back then, but CSS was pretty basic. Simon also used to talk about systems a lot, but didn’t have many answers. Fast-forward to 2014 and everything has changed; that CSS book is both useless and wrong, and systems inform much of what we build. This talk will look at how the landscape changed for front-end designers, and how we must think more holistically about the scope of our projects. With practical examples he’ll explore the tools, methodologies and systems that reenergised him and helped make sense of the whole darned mess.
Simon will explore CSS media queries and other methods for creating incredibly flexible adaptive layouts for varying devices, viewports and orientations.
In this session Simon will share his considerable experience of managing projects; from the initial client meetings to getting sign-off on designs to finally going live, and all that comes inbetween.
The Pursuit Of Magic, presented at Speak The Web Liverpool on 15th Feb 2010, takes a moment to reflect on key design principles that may or may not be being used effectively by legions of web designers.
For Simon, EE was never a mere blogging tool, but rather a CMS with huge potential. The antithesis of all those grossly expensive and clunky proprietary “solutions”, EE brought us inexpensive, intelligent software that offered a low entry level, and inspired a quiet revolution.
Looking back at five years of heavy-lifting with EE, through his own experiences and those of others, Simon will explore the methods and ways of thinking that have empowered web teams like his own to tackle incredibly complex builds.
To this day, EE remains the primary choice for many of us, but how do we ensure it continues to meet the needs of professional development for content-heavy, ever-evolving websites? Expect an honest appraisal from someone who spends his days working at the sharp end.
In this one hour tutorial Simon Collison will demonstrate why convention, order and understanding are vital to web design and development teams. He'll give insights into how Erskine approach projects and will help attendees explore ways of creating and evolving their own "Ultimate Package".
Why conventions are essential for successful web projects. How Erskine approach HTML, CSS & JavaScript in their own projects. What to consider when developing your own "Ultimate Package".
Its not easy to make the right decisions when you’re working on your own projects. You’ll often need to produce engaging content, stunning design and rewarding experiences without all the usual in-depth client research and process. This calls for smart thinking and bold leaps of faith. In this design and content-focused talk, Simon will share his own experiences - both successes and failures - with a specific focus on the agency/portfolio website and it’s variants.
This was presented on 15th August at the http://2009.geekinthepark.co.uk/ event.
If every project is different, then every project demands a bespoke, empathetic approach. But how can we confidently work this way without losing time and money and incurring other problems? How can we ensure every designer, developer and stakeholder is able to add value at every stage?
What we need is a toolbox - a selection of flexible approaches that ensure a project has a clear roadmap, but allowing for organic and collaborative process throughout.
Simon Collison will offer some unique twists to existing methodologies and present his take on agile development, audience modelling, and doing exceptional things with post-it notes, magnets and other tools.
The idea presents itself, and its all hands on deck getting the app built. Most developers will spend some time thinking about the real needs of the target audience, and the best methods for fostering a community. But how can you be sure you truly understand what the audience needs, and how can you legislate for where the community might take your app.
Simon will present a number of proven methodologies for audience research, modeling and grouping - and discuss the impact the results can have on the development process. He'll also look at the importance of designers and developers working collaboratively within the process.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
