UX is for Cheesemakers, Too I’ve worked as a user experience designer for large corporations and agencies for a few years now, and have found a lot of inflated terminology creeping into my vocabulary—alarming anyone who hasn’t ‘gone corporate’. So when I was asked to help a small Orkney Island dairy farm to sell their product, I had cause to rethink: do most of the phrases and practices we use actually mean anything to anyone but us? I have no doubt that the service and UX design ethos works. However, there is an extensive range of methods we use to get this information, and those methods have names like 'service safaris' and 'desktop walkthroughs'. In truth, for very small businesses, UX and service design practices would appear to be an impractical luxury.

World Cup Philosophy: Germany vs France This comic is an homage (or perhaps ripoff, if you are feeling less generous) of Monty Python's classic skit, "The Philosophers' Football Match". Sartre's "radical freedom" is explained in the notes on comic 17. Similarly, Derrida's joke is explained in the notes of comic 23. Hey, I have a limited subject matter, I'm going to reuse jokes, get used to it. Foucault was best known for his critiques of power structures, and for hyphenating words. Camus thought the world was "absurd". Nietzsche similarly believe the world itself had no meaning, but an individual could create meaning in his own life and exert it onto the world. Marx's line is a play on his famous quote "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. Kant believed there was the "phenomenal world" (i.e. the world of appearances) and the "noumenal world" (i.e. the world as it really is). The Advertisements: The unnamed philosophers were intended to be: Schopenhauer, Rousseau, and Voltaire in the first panel.
10 Most Common Misconceptions About User Experience Design Whitney Hess is an independent user experience designer, writer and consultant based in New York City. She authors the blog Pleasure and Pain. When I tell people that I am a user experience designer, I usually get a blank stare. The term “user experience” or UX has been getting a lot of play, but many businesses are confused about what it actually is and how crucial it is to their success.

User experience design is NOT... 1. ...user interface design It’s not uncommon to confuse “user experience” with “user interface” — after all it’s a big part of what users interact with while experiencing digital products and services. “Interface is a component of user experience, but there's much more,” says Peter Merholz, founding partner and president of Adaptive Path. 2. ...a step in the process It is the process. 3. ...about technology 6. ...expensive
SEO Wales and Pembrokeshire | search engine optimisation in Wales Content Strategy and UX: A Modern Love Story Content strategy has been around for a long time. Large corporations such as Disney, Wells Fargo, and Mayo Clinic have had functional content strategy teams for years. The mega-agency Razorfish has had dedicated content strategists on staff since 1998. But it's really only been in the last two years that the larger UX community has started paying closer attention to content strategy. In 2008, not a single UX conference had a session or workshop devoted to content strategy; In 2010, nearly all of them did, including the IA Summit, UX Week, UX London, User Interface Conference, and even SXSW. Why the gold rush? No matter how brilliant your designs, if the content is bad, the honeycomb crumbles. Today, the sudden surge of interest in content strategy has stirred hope in even the most jaded UX souls. What Exactly Is Content Strategy? Content is consistently a huge problem in most project work, but we often don't have the time or tools to figure out exactly where our process is broken.
