I have learned about various technologies that can be used for research, communication, and production during the process of constructing an open-toed shoe (OTS) product. Research involved using Pinterest to find popular styles, Tumblr for photography inspiration, and Google as the main search browser. Communication between partners was done through Gmail, phone/texting, and Twitter. Production software used included Photoshop for photo editing, stop motion for animations, PowerPoint for information sheets, Wix for evaluations, iMovie and Final Cut for video editing, and Blogger for progress blogging.
As UX pros, whether designing or analyzing, ideas are at our core. We spend years learning how to shape ideas into assets - reporting user insights, designing prototypes, and scoping interactions. But we spend woefully little time learning to communicate this stuff to its full potential. I’ve learned the hard way that often ideas aren’t enough. The kind of work that gets us to user findings, designs and product specs isn’t the same as what gets people to pay attention, remember it, believe it and care.
This preso is about simple communication methods to get people stuck on your ideas.
