Revealing Design Treasures From The AmazonJared Spool
On its surface, Amazon.com just seems like a large e-commerce site, albeit a successful one. Its design isn't flashy, nor is it much to write home about. But deep within its pages are hidden secrets -- secrets that every designer should know about.
If one looks closely at what the team at Amazon has built, it's filled with innovative functionality and clever designs, all of which creates a delightful experience for its users and directly produces regular profits for its shareholders. But not all is perfect. Some design changes in the last few years have not been the success that the team had hoped for. Amazon's exceptional qualities and imperfections are critical knowledge for any designer that wants to dig deep into what makes the site tick.
In this entertaining presentation, Jared will share some of UIE's latest research into the hidden treasures of (the) Amazon.
You'll learn:
+ The simple Yes/No question that increased revenues by more than $1 billion
+ The elegant subtlety of Amazon's security system
+ Why Amazon's business model is more than meets the eye (and why designers need to care)
+ The wins and losses that Amazon has had with social media functionality

Talk by Fabien Christin from DICE at GDC 2016.
Designing a big city that players can explore by day and by night while improving on the unique visual from the first Mirror's Edge game isn't an easy task.
In this talk, the tools and technology used to render Mirror's Edge: Catalyst will be discussed. From the physical sky to the reflection tech, the speakers will show how they tamed the new Frostbite 3 PBR engine to deliver realistic images with stylized visuals.
They will talk about the artistic and technical challenges they faced and how they tried to overcome them, from the simple light settings and Enlighten workflow to character shading and color grading.
Takeaway
Attendees will get an insight of technical and artistic techniques used to create a dynamic time of day system with updating radiosity and reflections.
Intended Audience
This session is targeted to game artists, technical artists and graphics programmers who want to know more about Mirror's Edge: Catalyst rendering technology, lighting tools and shading tricks.
Slides from a talk I did at Web Directions South in Sydney Oct 2009.
Outline:
Designing for dynamic web applications and mobile devices poses a new set of challenges. Web designers are increasingly being asked to apply their skills to where the page model no longer applies. We need new ways of exploring the user experience and communicating behaviours involving sub-page changes and movement.
Enter rapid prototyping. Widely acclaimed as one of the best ways to create great user experiences, it isn't without it's own pitfalls. This session will discuss the pros and cons of different prototyping techniques, and introduce a new technique called "screenflows" that focuses on visualising the user experience.
Discover how to combine the best of paper prototyping, wireframes and HTML prototyping into one simple and effective prototyping technique. Learn how using this method can dramatically decrease the need for documentation, while increasing the speed and agility of the development process.
Nick will explore the best practices of user experience by reviewing some of the most popular and highly trafficked websites today such as eBay, Amazon, Toyota, Flickr, Twitter, Netflix and more. Nick will identify and explain both good an bad experiences on these sites on the merits of visual design, information architecture, interaction, and ease of use. If there is time we will open the floor for audience submissions and to provide quick feedback and areas of improvement.

Digital Summit Dallas 2015 Pre-Conf Workshop
Human Centered Design, Design Thinking, Agile, Mobile First, Lean. These tech methodologies have fueled our disruptive revolution. But ecosystem design is hard, and successful campaigns typically cross a wide section of “silos”. As digital marketers and strategists, our careers depend on facilitating and driving the vision to the rest of the team.
The focus of this workshop is on understanding the current consumer and anticipating the consumer of the near future. Specifically, this session focuses on understanding a consumer who is empowered, participatory and discriminating and thinking about how they behave across platforms.
By investigating the shift in the traditional Consumer Decision Journey, we will deconstruct successful integrated campaigns to establish a framework for creating our own.
In this half day session you will:
Understand the Profiles, Triggers, and Motivations of the Connected Shopper.
Identify all relevant touch points in the Customer Decision Journey.
Learn design thinking exercises to enable disruptive thinking.
Leave with a ‘UX design vernacular’ to accurately communicate concerns.
See a LIVE design audit (if we have any volunteers).

Digital Natives - Session 4 - Listening to consumersBart Muskala
Online, virtually everything is being measured. Which results in tons of data. Are we doing anything with it? Does it give us any insights that actually make sense? Or should we simply involve our consumers and ask them what we'd like to know? And what if we not only get to know everything about our consumer, but also where he or she physically is at any given time? And what on earth does 'crowdsourcing' mean?
