These slides were for a Social Media workshop, held March 2012, for the Digital team of the ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs unit.
For my 15-minute section, I was tasked to discuss the effect of usability norms (scanning, how eyes generally go through a website in an "F") on formatting content (bullets, titles).
Slides with data exclusive to employees were removed.
The Role of Research in Digital Development (Presentation to Digital business...Angela Obias
by Angela Obias, under the Digital Brand Management team of ABS-CBN Corporation
Research is often overlooked when planning a digital team.
The slides above were presented to an executive committee, to evangelize the relevance of research projects to website and application development.
Slides containing ABS-CBN's proprietary performance data (TV ratings, Google Analytics) were removed.
The presentation offers an overview of the benefits of analytics, usability testing and user research.
Wireframe Exercise: Entertainment Publisher HomepagesAngela Obias
Part of my self-training exercises to learn Interaction Design basics, I broke down websites I liked and disliked into wireframes (using Jason Santa Maria's grey box wireframing style).
E! Online, Refinery29, WeHeart.uk
I know - there are websites that automatically do this, but doing these exercises by hand makes you appreciate the content hierarchy, metadata and design patterns that web designers use.
Figuring Out What Clients Want - Basic Client Facilitation WorkshopAngela Obias
Presented March 2013 to the client-facing strategists of ABS-CBN Digital Brand Management.
The workshop was for the tech-savvy, assertive, young marketers whose role was to both pitch to Clients and receive project requests.
We wanted the team to have an aligned knowledge of asking, probing and clarifying product-related questions with Clients.
The short primer talks about facilitation watch-outs and basic questions for product development (objectives, success metrics, target audience).
Fighting the Dark Side of Data-Driven (Form, Function & Class Web Design Conf...Angela Obias
These are the supporting slides from my talk on the watch-outs and potential perils of using data for design.
The talk was for Form, Function & Class 6 - an annual web design conference. This year's theme was the fight for good design - and the talks ranged from web animation, by Rachel Nabors to design systems, by James Cabrera and Brad Frost.
I'm a research practitioner and analyst. So although it may seem weird to present about the perils of data, I also want the design community to understand that having a lot of data doesn't mean that you'll get a "good" design. Something that I feel is critical for us to reflect on, at a time when popular opinion praises "user-centricity" and big data.
FFC is organized by the Philippine Web Designers Organization.

You aren't your target market. - UX Research BasicsAngela Obias

Bare-bones advice on how to get minimum, but necessary, validation about the class's digital product ideas.

This workshop was created to kick off free and open discussion among the Accounts Strategy, Social Media Analytics and Media teams of Nuworks Interactive Labs.
It goes through basic frameworks and rules of thumb that may guide the analysis process.
The flow does not cover specific statistical analysis directives -- it's meant to spark a discussion and an assessment of the way individuals look at data, in an easily understandable way.
Slides containing data exclusive to employees were removed.
Design Research Overview: Bite-sized Usability TestingAngela Obias
This presentation introduced Communications Research students to the particular research "genre" of design research (research for product development).

5 Steps to Creating Data-backed Personas for User Experience (UX) DesignAngela Obias
I've become a persona skeptic and it's because I've seen many an "imaginary" persona in my life.
I respect the integrity of personas, and I just really wanted to share, in my own little way, how anyone can apply personas to a web design project, using the actual data-based process.

When we think about automated, learning systems, we often think of a world without humans - but there are many signs and limitations that show we’re not moving toward a human-free world. We’ll explore the strengths and weaknesses of humans and computers, and explore the new design paradigm that’s making artificial intelligence more powerful than it’s ever been before.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Dive into the innovative world of smart garages with our insightful presentation, "Exploring the Future of Smart Garages." This comprehensive guide covers the latest advancements in garage technology, including automated systems, smart security features, energy efficiency solutions, and seamless integration with smart home ecosystems. Learn how these technologies are transforming traditional garages into high-tech, efficient spaces that enhance convenience, safety, and sustainability.
Ideal for homeowners, tech enthusiasts, and industry professionals, this presentation provides valuable insights into the trends, benefits, and future developments in smart garage technology. Stay ahead of the curve with our expert analysis and practical tips on implementing smart garage solutions.
