How the Design Workflow is Changing Once upon a time, there was a method of design that involved plenty of time for brainstorming and upfront big picture planning. Designers could meet with all interested parties, puzzle over design challenges, and play with problems until they’d found a (theoretical) solution. Conversely, the many designers who do make Agile their own find it can actually be a boon for creativity, forcing them out of productivity-deadening perfectionism and keeping them on their toes as they try to meet changing constraints. How are these designers embracing the more dynamic Agile approach to workflow while still holding strong to the more static elements of the design process that keep them surefooted and on solid ground? 1.

The term “form validation” might need a little bit of clarification. Generally speaking, there are two types of form validation: After submit validation – when the user provides all the data and submits the form, usually by hitting the button, the information is sent to the server and validated. Importance of Form Validation Sign-up/sign-in formsShopping cart – check-out formsNewsletter forms This shouldn’t be ignored. Excited? 1.

5 Public Speaking Tips That'll Prepare You for Any Interview Landing a job interview is incredibly exciting –- and often terrifying. But fear not. There are clever ways to transform your angst into nerves of steel. 1. Most people dread the moment when their interviewer utters the words - “So, tell me about yourself.” Before you answer, rewind back to when you applied for the job -– the moment you decided that you and the position would be a solid match. 2. How many times have you been confident in your ability to perform a task but not necessarily enthused about doing it (or vice versa)? To make sure there’s a healthy balance between the two, draft a list of reasons you’re confident about your ability to perform the job, and pair each one with a reason why you’re enthusiastic about showing up. Example: "In over 15 years as a graphic designer, I’ve mastered a number of software programs and techniques. 3. The last thing you want to do in an interview is regurgitate your resume or Linkedin profile. 4. Need a little practice on this? 5.

Famosas leis aplicadas à Experiência do Usuário Publicado por Roney Stones em 18/07/2013. Física, Matemática e Psicologia são algumas das disciplinas que emprestam seus princípios aos estudos da Interação Humano-Computador (IHC). Afinal, quem disse que estudar Usabilidade não é tão complexo quanto Química? Este artigo aborda sete leis que são facilmente aplicadas na prática do Design de Experiência do Usuário. Lei de Miller ou Lei da Memória de Curto Prazo Os estudos do psicólogo George Miller apontam que a maioria das pessoas armazenam apenas de 5 a 9 itens de informação na memória de curto prazo. Esta lei é especialmente importante quando aplicada ao e-learning, apresentações, manuais de instruções, ferramentas de direções e etc. Mas lembre-se, embora alguns defendam “até 7 itens no menu” ou “até 7 produtos por página”, essa lei não precisa ser aplicada dessa forma. Lei de Fitts Paul Fitts elaborou um cálculo para prever, matematicamente, o tempo que o ato de apontar leva para atingir seu alvo com base em sua distância e tamanho.

Beautifully Lettered Inspirational Quotes Created On A Chalkboard Graphic designer, letterer and illustrator Scott Biersack has a meaningful weekend project—he wakes up early every Saturday to work on “Chalkboard Saturday”, where he hand-letters motivational quotes onto a large chalkboard. Located at a hallway in the COOR building at ASU, the enormous 8ft by 30ft chalkboard is Biersack’s canvas for his ephemeral typographic art, which can be easily damaged by passers-by. Featuring inspiring words of wisdom, these beautifully inscribed pieces not only serve as reminders for himself but also as uplifting doses of encouragement for his fellow students. Watch the time-lapse video below to see the designer at work on one of his chalkboard lettering piece. [via Design Boom] Receive interesting stories like this one in your inbox
