I gave this presentaton at the Innovation Depot for the American Advertising Federation Birmingham club. Great group. Fun discussion about how to unleash your best creative ideas.
Ux design summit guarding against an us vs them mentalityJohn Murray
“They have no idea how to work with a real design team.” We’ve all heard or said something like that about people on our product teams, especially developers. While that’s a natural response to a breakdown in communication or a road bump during implementation, over time it can create an “Us vs. Them” mentality that does more harm than good. So how do we avoid scratching the itch. How do we keep avoiding giving in to the cynicism? As a design leader, how do you balance your team’s frustrations and continue to motivate them to deliver quality user experiences?
Have you been fooled by the number one graphic design fallacy?

Why is the process of design often applied too late to projects? Most organizations are ignorant of the process and therefore the value design can provide. By learning a little about the design process organizations can improve their use of design as a strategic tool within their organization. This presentation is brief look at the process.
I know it's not easy to finish project content multi-functions by your self, but this is the freelance work. but I break it down to facilitate the mission.
Are you break down your project like this. could you separate and combine your brain like a Jigsaw puzzle?
tell me about your way. I am happy to hear and learn more from you.

Principles Of Presentation Design - The Beginners MindJohn Fallon
This presentation is the first section of a 150+ slide presentation on Principles of Presentation Design that I use both in seminars and the classroom.
How do they do it? How do some people and organizations consistently innovate? What do they do differently to keep innovation and creative juices flowing? If you seek simple-truth, understandable answers to these questions, you will want to be part of this conversation to understand the mindset, stories and strategies of breakthrough thinking. In this highly interactive and practical presentation, we will reveal and discuss best practice approaches and take-a-way concepts that unleash creative innovation. You will not only leave with empowering strategies to reflect on for yourself, but also to share with others.
Beginner's guide shows how to draw engaging sketchnotes, maps, and charts during
meetings and presentations. Includes how to sketch simple icons, metaphors, to clarify, communicate and co-create meaning.
This keynote was given by Marissa Louie, Principal Designer at Yahoo!
Abstract:
There are millions of web sites and apps that exist, yet only a few of them are accessed on a regular basis. How do we design products that keep users coming back for more? The answer is simple – we integrate emotion into our designs.
In this presentation, Marissa Louie will teach us:
Emotional themes: What gets users hooked
Emotional toolbox: Design elements that make your users feel great
How to integrate positive emotions to influence behavior and increase user engagement
How to add personality to a product

Meet Marissa
Marissa Louie is a UI, UX, and Product Designer whose designs have been experienced by over 1 billion users. She is a Principal Designer at Yahoo!, where she has led design efforts in Search and Homepage and Verticals. She founded First Designer Co., a design community that supports designers with mentorship, design critiques, and job opportunities.
She has been an iOS Art Director at Apple, Product Designer at Ness Computing (acquired by OpenTable and now part of Priceline.com), and Co-founder of three tech startups. Her work has won numerous awards, including Apple's App Store Best of 2012 for Ness Computing.
In school we learn to write as a fundamental building block for communication, and drawing is shunted away to “art class.” But scientists like Darwin and Marie Curie, presidents from Jefferson to Obama, and mathematicians, choreographers, and composers all have used sketching to give form to their ideas. Words are abstract and ambiguous, and can lead to miscommunication. We say a picture is worth a thousand words, so why do we discard this critical tool?
Drawing is not just for so-called creatives. Drawing allows you to ideate, communicate, and collaborate with your team. Stop talking around your vision, and get it on the whiteboard where your team can see it! Whether you’re an entrepreneur, an engineer, or a product manager, drawing will make you better at your job. In this workshop, you will go from “can’t draw a straight line” to visually representing complex ideas. First, we’ll demystify the act of sketching. Through a series of activities and exercises, we’ll cover the fundamental building blocks of visual communication. You’ll learn easy ways to draw the most common images, from people to interfaces. Next, we’ll tackle making storyboards, product flows, and interfaces. We’ll finish by working with charts, mental models, and canvases. This is a hands-on workshop, so come with paper, pencils, and pens, and be ready to make your mark.
This is the deck for a talk I gave at the Brisbane UX and IxDA meetup group on creating and using personas. I've had to remove the case study slides in order to make this available to a wider audience.

Key lessons a young creative should know through an introspective look into the success achieved and mistakes committed during Joji’s 16 years in the advertising industry.
Thinking of hiring a copywriter - here are important questions to ask?Infodec Communications
Copywriting is an important part of the business and marketing process. But, before you hire a copywriter here are some important questions you should ask.
One of the cardinal rules in copywriting (or in any writing) is “show—don’t tell.” This is true whether you’re writing a print ad, an annual report, or a mystery novel. So instead of “telling” you more about my work, please judge it for yourself.

How to Manage Creative People – Top Tips from the ExpertsWebdam
We know why you’re here.
You manage creatives or at least you want to, and they’re a tough bunch to figure out. As much as you might want to sometimes, you can’t just treat them like everyone else. – they’re different and they do important work that the rest of us simply can’t replicate with any sort of quality.
So let’s figure this thing out: communication, motivation, criticism – the whole nine yards. To help us out with that, we called in dozens of the most incredible art directors, creative officers and brand managers on the planet. They were gracious enough to give us a little insight into how they get such impressive results from their creative teams.
And now we’re sharing that good stuff with you. Enjoy!

While many business people appreciate the power of design,

Design, this drawing asserts, is simply magic – a mysterious
no-man’s land where only the brave dare tread. Such a definition

gating itsmanyhairpin turns.
Our advice: don’t be put off by Brennan’s view of design.
Design has many different meanings, and the approach we will
describe here is more akin to Dorothy’s ruby slippers than to a

Designalwaysbeginswithempathy–establishingadeepunder-
standing of those for whom you are designing. Managers who
thought likedesignerswould consistentlyput themselves in their
customers’ shoes. We all know we’re supposed to be ‘customer-
centered’, but what we’re talking about is deeper and more
personal than that: trueempathyentailsknowingyourcustomers

In addition,managerswho thought likedesignerswould view
themselvesas creators.Forallourtalkaboutthe ‘artandscience’of
management, we have mostly paid attention to the science part.
Taking design seriously means acknowledging the difference
betweenwhat scientistsdoandwhatdesignersdo:whereas scien-
tists investigate today to discover explanations for what already
is, designers invent tomorrow to create something that isn’t.

Finally, design insists that we prepare ourselves to iterate our
way to a solution, somanagerswho thought like designerswould
view themselves as learners. Most managers are taught a linear
problem-solving methodology: define the problem, identify vari-
ous solutions, analyze each, and choose the best one. Designers
aren’t nearly so impatient – or optimistic; they understand ...
Design Principles: The Philosophy of UXWhitney Hess
The visual principles of harmony, unity, contrast, emphasis, variety, balance, proportion, repetition, texture and movement (and others) are widely recognized and practiced, even when they aren’t formally articulated. But creating a good design doesn’t automatically mean creating a good experience.
In order for us to cultivate positive experiences for our users, we need to establish a set of guiding principles for experience design. Guiding principles are the broad philosophy or fundamental beliefs that steer an organization, team or individual’s decision making, irrespective of the project goals, constraints, or resources.
Whitney will share a universally-applicable set of experience design principles that we should all strive to follow, and will explore how you can create and use your own guiding principles to take your site or product to the next level.
Take a deep dive look at my world, mentality, and processes. Here, I share past work like web design and illustration. I also share some thoughts about the future.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

We’re built differently.
We think differently.
We have different experiences.
We process differently.
