The Building Blocks of Design: Taking the Basics to a New Level
IRWD Design Workshop - Feb. 10, 2014
Speaker: Josh Levine - Chief Experience Officer, Co-Founder - Ai
Color, typography, placement, organization — even white space — are the visuals that can help attract shoppers’ attention, keep them engaged with the site and intrigued with the brand, and turn them into buyers — or they can turn off or confuse site visitors, detracting from the shopping experience and the brand. In this session, hear from two experienced web experts about how to master your handling of these powerful elements in site design and turn them to your advantage.
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

Presenter: Murray Newlands, ChattyPeople, CEO
Every business is going to have a bot. They are cheaper, faster, respond instantly and they can interact with any number of clients simultaneously. If messaging apps become the primary way people communicate, and every business needs a strategy to engage with people on messaging apps, and bots are the only scalable way to do this, then every business will eventually have a bot. That is simple math.
Quick guide to people-centered design by Michael Koenka of MDK Strategy. This covers processes, deliverables, plus handy insights into when to use it and why. Hats off and mad props goes out to the great peeps at Google Ventures, IDEO and Stanford Design for influencing this deck.

The 7 most common usability issues by UserTestingInVision App
After watching hundreds of thousands of hours of user research videos, the folks at UserTesting have identified the 7 most common usability issues. Find out what they are—and how to avoid them.
Learning in the Age of Knowledge on DemandTim O'Reilly
The London Black Cab driver's exam, "The Knowledge of the Streets and Monuments of London," is one of the most difficult exams in the world, requiring drivers to become a human GPS. With today's tools, the smartphone and the right app turns anyone into the equivalent of a human GPS. I've been asking myself how this concept applies to the field of online learning, particularly in my own field of programming and related IT skills. How should we rethink learning in the age of knowledge on demand? My keynote at the EdCrunch conference in Moscow on October 1, 2019. As always, download the PPT to read the detailed script in the speaker notes below each slide.
Practical guidance on how to present data using PowerPoint. This presentation covers best practices taught in management consultancies and visual cognition. Based on a lecture given at Tsinghua University, Beijing in December 2011.

Social by design is a product strategy that encourages and facilitates conversation into an ongoing relationship management model. Conversation via content, creativity, product updates and thought leadership is the means by which we express who we are to others while learning and getting feedback from them. Learn the practical steps on how this fundamentally different and new design approach around communications will enable business in the DIY economy.
At each stop on our tour, we’ll be giving a lecture presentation about how each of us as designers can work for the greater good. We know, however, that intention only goes so far; we must collectively establish best practices. When we’re designing for homelessness, health, poverty, education, and well-being, the stakes are higher than ever, with little room for half-hearted efforts.
With that in mind, we have compiled a Toolkit for both design students and educators (or really for anyone who wants to apply creative problem solving to social issues) that outlines 13 values and corresponding strategies for not just how to design for the greater good, but how to produce GREAT design for the greater good. (Note: The 13 values are derived from the Designer’s Handshake document included in our book, Design Revolution: 100 Products that Empower People).
Here you can find 21 ways to boost your event or conference. Cyriel has a lot of experience as Master of Interaction and loves to share his knowledge and experience in some very practical ways to inspire, engage and wake up your audience. Enjoy!
Designing APIs for Humans: Leveraging UX Methods For Develop Human Centered APIsPronovix
Application programming interfaces (APIs) are a way modern websites and applications share data with users. From sharing user profile data between services to displaying relevant information from one service to another, APIs enable us to develop a single platform of shared data. In other words… it’s about people.
This talk will walk through how to leverage the practice of human centered design to create robust and meaningful APIs that help meet users needs. We’ll touch on topics such as:
* How and why to involve a cross disciplinary on an API team into the HCD process (Engineering, UX, Product)
* What HCD methods and techniques to use in order to create a healthy API ecosystem
Architecting Information for the Mind: Introducing Emergent UXJohn Whalen
UX has become a vital component of mission-critical projects. But you can’t just start designing screens. UX doesn’t happen on a screen – it happens in the mind. This talk introduces Emergent UX - a process designed to dramatically improve product design by deeply understanding your audience's conscious and unconscious needs on cognitive and emotional levels. We describe how we go beyond traditional UX techniques by using psychology to deeply understand what is in your users’ mind (or minds), what deliverables we produce, and how to apply that concretely to UX design. Learn about the six minds, what it takes to seduce them, and how to add Emergent UX processes to your projects.
10 Digital Hacks Every Marketer Should KnowMark Fidelman
I've spent the last 10 years discovering the best digital marketing hacks to move the awareness and revenue needle. I'm giving you 3 examples and 10 hacks to improve your marketing game dramatically.
An inspiration session and workshop I gave to marketing and communication team, focusing on societal and digital trends. Focus on disconnecting, retail innovation, education, happiness and storydoing.
This is a presentation I did at Failcon 2012 in San Francisco, It tells the story of ccLoop, a startup I founded in 2010.
ccLoop was my fourth startup. The first three found large markets and did well, but this one did not.
I discussed a few topics including:
- Getting the right founding team.
- Solving a problem that customers care dearly about.
- Building a product the customer can't live without.
- Knowing when to pivot and when to persevere.
- Not getting wrapped up into PR and worrying about which startups have "social proof" and which don't.

Seducing Robots with Ads. About the 2 forces that are changing marketing comm...Jan Algoed
Today, it is virtually impossible to absorb all the content you’re interested in. There’s only so many hours in a day. And you probably still have to study or a job to do.
But then there’s smart algorithms which are constantly learning what we do and don’t like. At a certain point, they help us to make the optimal choice each and every time. They go by the names of Siri, Cortana or Google Now. And they will become the personal assistant everyone carries around.
Bad news for advertisers.
Because, how will advertisers ever get commercial content past all the smartness that has been put into the consumers’ hands?
And how will advertisers have to change in order to be successful?

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?
# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
