The Faultless Designer

Mar 27, 20191 like482 views

Less is more is a fascinating, age-old concept (and the concept upon which minimalist design is based). When applied thoroughly, less is more can generate higher user engagement, better usability, and more aesthetic appeal. Unfortunately, many designers can’t seem to get it right. We see so many boring, seamless, and emotionless design products that just don't spark joy. I wonder: what are the ideal attributes for a designer to possess. Those timeless, versatile qualities that work with just about any trend, and can be easily applied to all design fields? I began a personal crusade to find out. The result was the discovery and definition of a brand-new figure in the world of design. Meet the Faultless Designer.

Good UX Karma: Guiding Principles to Simpler, Easier and Happier UI DesignHafiz Huda

People are busier than ever. The UX karmic cycle can create positive experiences for them, which in turn drives business. We’ll point to ten specific principles for making your users’ lives easier—UX Mantras that can bring change for good. From typography to spacing to plain language, we’ll keep it fast, simple, and packed with common sense to make your users happier and your business stronger. When I was the Exec Creative Director at Infuz, I wrote this with Ryan Swarts, our UX Architect and Art Director for our presentation at the 2011 STL UX Conference. And yes... The airport sign at around 06:01 is not in Danish. I'm told it's Dutch. Doh!

Referral tracking through a smart phone app revisedAlbert Willkinson

Amanda Hughes created a smartphone app using the online app builder Appy Pie to help mental health professionals in her district track student referrals and crisis resources. The free app provides directories of local crisis numbers, reminders for assessment plans, and a form to electronically submit referral information. It also connects users to event calendars, registration forms, and relevant articles. While the app has been positively received, challenges include ensuring WiFi access and encouraging ongoing use after training. Hughes is willing to share her customized app template for others to use on the Appy Pie platform.

DESIGN is the new TECHNOLOGY, mit id pune, october 1, 2009PPT Salon

This document provides an introduction to a presentation on design and business. It discusses how design will be the driver of business growth in the coming decades in the same way technology was in previous decades. It notes that "design" may not be what people currently think of and provides some examples of bad design experiences. It also discusses different types of design and contrasts aesthetic and cognitive design approaches.

How Service Mapping Leads to Personalized TripsNearsoft

Personalized experiences provide the sort of engagement that makes a users feel in control to build an authentic trip from the moment they start planning it. Your goal as a travel company is to predict what customers want, the way they wanted and when they need it. That is not an easy task, but mapping your service will help you lead to action items to offer a personalized experience to your travelers.

This document provides guidance on structuring landing pages and collecting leads. It discusses key elements to include such as a navbar, hero section, social proof, calls to action, and features/objections. The hero section should entice visitors with compelling headers and subheaders that convey the main value propositions. Social proof helps convince visitors that others are already using the product. Well-written features address potential objections and fully explain the benefits to increase desire and decrease confusion. The goal is to maximize information density and conversion through clear, concise messaging and design.

This document discusses how to build conversations through user experience (UX) design. It emphasizes using stories and storytelling principles to align UX design with business goals and user needs. Stories can help legitimize design choices by framing the user journey as a narrative with the user as the hero and brand as the guide. The document provides examples of UX briefs and recommends tools like service blueprints and business model canvases to understand customers and ensure the design leads to desirable outcomes for both users and the business.

EDGY introduction webinarIntersection Group

EDGY is a visual language for collaborative enterprise design. It connects different facets (identity, experience, architecture) and elements (activities, people, things) in a single model. The core elements represent an unfiltered view of the enterprise and how it manifests as businesses with people working towards outcomes using things as part of activities. EDGY stands for enterprise design graphical morphology and is used to map enterprise elements, trace their interplay, and express future designs.

The rise of designSaxbee Consultants

The document discusses trends in Indian design that may rise in 2016, according to Alok Nanda. It predicts the growth of artisanal brands aided by increasing incomes and exposure. It also notes the rise of impatience due to slick shopping apps, and that digital design thinking needs good art directors and creatives to improve the user experience. Additionally, it discusses how digital branding is changing identities to be designed for screens rather than paper. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of design thinking in large companies and building a culture of design in India.

UX / UI Mobile TrendsMark N Swaine

Current mobile design trends emphasize simplicity, speed, and a focus on the user experience above all else. Designers are encouraged to rapidly prototype and iterate based on real-time user feedback in order to build intuitive, task-oriented interfaces tailored for specific devices and contexts. Additionally, flat design utilizing minimal elements, bold colors, and typography is prominent, while responsive design ensures content is optimally organized and accessible across all screens. Social media also plays a fundamental role in how brands engage with users through creative visual storytelling on key platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Il Kit di Sopravvivenza Creativa: lo storytelling per superare ogni sfida.Chiara Aliotta

In questo talk, Chiara Aliotta esplora il mondo della creatività, partendo dall'idea che questa non sia una fonte inesauribile, ma una risorsa che va protetta e coltivata, soprattutto nei momenti di difficoltà. Traendo ispirazione dal grande designer Bruno Munari, Chiara mostra come “domare” e valorizzare la creatività, anche nei progetti meno stimolanti. Condivide quattro strumenti pratici di storytelling e design, accompagnati da esempi reali che dimostrano come il giusto approccio possa trasformare idee comuni in risultati straordinari.

Back FOR the FutureChiara Aliotta

If we only could predict the future. We as designers could solve problems, even before people knew they were problems. In this talk, I will argue that while we cannot predict the future, we do have a few superpowers that help: Empathy and Imagination. If we combine those with proven storytelling techniques, we can make better products and designs, which do not predict — but actually shape — the future.

The Shape of ThoughtsChiara Aliotta

For any designer, commercial realities and restraints can be a challenge, so how can we develop and maintain our creativity while delivering for our clients? In this presentation, I share my personal thoughts and experience of how a sustainable balance between heart and mind is possible if we guide clients into our processes of learning and discovery, and how we can remain motivated, even during long-term projects, and avoid losing your souls in the process. Gain beautiful insights on how you can harness your passion to boost your creativity and stay productive and how to ‘transform your work into a playground rather than a labour camp’.

I put a spell on youChiara Aliotta

Designers have a very unique power, and as Uncle Ben tells us in the original Spiderman movie, with great power comes great responsibility. Using our magic, we are capable of controlling or limiting users’ actions and behaviour, both on a physical and emotional level. The question is: how do we use our skills? Do we deceive our users to achieve some predetermined goal? Do we take advantage of our strengths and knowledge to get what we want from them, no matter the cost? Persuasive design can be likened to ‘white magic’. It can improve the users’ journey and win us the trust and approval of our target audience, without using black hat design and devious tricks. Websites used as an example.

Unforgettable brandsChiara Aliotta

A brand is considered successful when it is desirable, distinctive, and credible in people’s minds. As the famous brand guru, Marty Neumeier, once said: “A brand is a person's gut feeling about a product, service or organization.” In this session, I shared some great piece of advice that anyone can apply to create a competitive identity. I explored what great brands do to leave their mark on their industry, and finally analysed the essence of branding: develop a bond with your consumers.

Once Upon a Time. How to create visual storytelling on the web.Chiara Aliotta

Have you noticed that these days every brand has a story and every designer is a "storyteller"? Storytelling is the buzzword of our days. From marketing experts to motivational speakers, everyone tries to entertain and engage people with a story they want to share, retell, or participate in. What it may look as a new trend, actually is as old as the humankind: storytelling is the primary way we absorb, manage, store, access and communicate information, as well as connect with others. In a world overloaded of messages and products, the interest in this discipline has grown fast and stories are seen as a way to engage in some sort of decision-making or action in order to create a resolution. However, building a powerful and memorable story on the web is not easy: it is no about how a medium can help you to communicate your stories but it is about how you can incorporate storytelling in your medium in order to communicate your messages more effectively. In this talk, following the three-act structure that Aristotle came up with over two thousand years ago (beginning, middle and end), I will introduce some important elements that all stories have – characters, plot, action, emotion – and how we can connect them to leverage all aspects of web design into one beautiful visual story that compels your users to continue scrolling down their pages!

Cheap Wine in Fancy Glasses. How typography evokes emotions and builds stories.Chiara Aliotta

As human being, when we use products, websites and applications we experience complex social and emotional responses. These responses are not different from the one we experience when we interact with real people. We are able to perceive -both in people and in things - personality traits and emotional signals, even when this was not the designer’s intention. This is true even for typefaces. 90% of the design we encounter in our lives is typography. We are continuously exposed to it in our everyday life. Unwittingly, typography has a great impact on how we act, interact and relate to objects. It can set the mood, influence decisions and be used to tell stories. You can even perceive personality through typography. This is why designers will often say that a typeface can express more than it writes. Before even understanding why, we are attracted to and buy that specific brand of mayonnaise because the typeface makes it look genuine and fresh. We love an advertising campaign because the typeface used is readable and friendly. We even trust a brand because their logotype looks luxurious and reliable. Our decisions can be completely influenced by the way we use typography, altering perception and triggering mental process that lead to behavior. Starting from the point of view of Donald Norman, author of the book Emotional Design, and from the book of Aaron Walter, Designing for Emotion, through practical examples and lively interaction with the audience, I explore how typography can create emotion, beauty, mood, pleasure, memorability but also frustration and rejection.

A day in the life of a UX designerChiara Aliotta

As a designer myself I observe the world around me with attention and a critical eye. But apparently I am not the only one that it is looking for flawless experiences. I know lot of people that get frustrated with a badly designed product. Most of the time they blame themselves when actually the flaw is in the product they are using. User experience is not that unknown aspect of designing a product left only to the most forward-thinking companies to master. It is a logic-based process propped on the understanding of how people use and enjoy a product on a daily basis. As designers we need to think about the way users interact with their product in the field and provide the best possible experience based on the feedback. Your users expect that the product is not only functional and beautiful, but also able to proactively fulfill their needs. When it doesn’t, you may find that users feel stupid or even worse, cheated. This brings on the anger. Researchers estimate that by 2020 user experience will overtake price and product as the determining factor in purchasing decisions. So it is about time to understand what UX is and how you can give your customers the best experience ever. In this funny and colourful presentation I will talk about my personal experience with poorly designed products and how those examples could be applied to improve your design, whether is a website or an application.

The Future of the Web is Printed - Revisited edition for AWWWARDS Conference,...Chiara Aliotta

The document discusses the history and evolution of graphic design and typography from the early 20th century to today. It provides examples from different eras of pioneering design work in areas like layout, images, icons, and typography. These include examples from the 1920s, 1950s, 1960s, 1980s, and 2000s. The document suggests that while media and technology have changed, the basic principles of design have remained important to effective communication over time.

The future of the web is printedChiara Aliotta

Style guides are a hot topic in web design today. On the web, a project already delivered can now be handled and further developed by new web designers and developers, as a company or project progresses over time. So creating some kind of documentation is crucial in order to maintain a consistent style and prevent parts of the work that were previously done from getting lost. Style guides contains important, fundamental principles that have been helping graphic designers create beautiful messages in print for a long time. Thousands of theories and blog posts on how to pair typefaces or how to use grids have been extensively discussed in many old, fantastic books about print that many young web designers have never heard of. Chiara argues that print design, which is often declared long-dead and forgotten, is today teaching us how to deliver great, functional websites that look consistent on all modern devices. In this talk she will take you on a journey to the ‘Lost CMYK World’. She invites you, the audience, to travel with her, discovering the beauty of ‘traditional’ graphic design as a way to inspire and create new concepts for your next web projects. After this talk you will look at the RGB World with fresh, new eyes.

How to kill a brandChiara Aliotta

Over the past few years, there has been an explosion of brand presence in the online world at the same time that, being on web has become a strategic choice for small companies and their business. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate brands but also how consumers may perceive it. From social media to digital advertising, and newsletters to online campaigns, the way to expose a company’s identity has become varied and complex. We all agree that an easy and simple way to identify a company or a business is by their logo. However, the logo per se does not a brand or identity make. So, are you sure you know how to communicate your brand or are you ready to commit a crime? This presentation is inspired by: The brand gap by Marty Neumeier Zag by Marty Neumeier Designing Brand Identity by Alina Wheeler Wally Olins: the brand handbook by Wally Olins

Fight for the pixel. How designers and developers can work side by side.Chiara Aliotta

Web designers are seen as the creative spirit of the web team. They are aesthetically-oriented, eccentric dreamers. But most of all, as soon as they start to question every little thing that doesn’t make their site look “perfect”, they can be very annoying for developers and programmers to work with. Working as a web designer can be damn stressful. They have to design for a medium that changes every day, which is not as reliable as a printed page, and that doesn’t look the same in all browsers. With all these important aspects to consider, designers also have to come up with colors and graphics that match a company’s values and communicate them consistently. Once they have made all this effort to put all of these elements together on one webpage, their work, which they care about and love so much, goes to the hands of a web developer with the hope that she/he will care about it in the same way. Sometimes this magic happens, and everybody is happy: developers and designers shake hands, satisfied with their work together. Sometimes, however, design and development take two different roads, and this is when the balance gets broken and suddenly designers and developers discover themselves as two enemies. We can get rid of the line between designers and developers if we just think about the fact that there are no beautiful websites without an enjoyable, engaging design and there are no accessible, user-friendly websites without great development. In this presentation, starting from the point of view of a web designer (me), you will learn about a few things that cause disagreements between designers and developers and how to overcome them in order to create a peaceful, efficient and professional relationship.

We heart it! Evoking emotion through typographyChiara Aliotta

Starting from the point of view of Donald Norman, author of the book Emotional Design, and from the most recent book of Aaron Walter, Designing for Emotion, this presentation will explain how to use typography to trigger emotion and engage your website visitors. Typography is an essential element in graphic design and communication. Usually it is used to “carry” information so it must have some common-sense characteristics such as high legibility and readability, scalability and appropriateness. But there is yet another level to explore, where typography can play a big role: evoking and triggering emotions. We all know about emotions because we experience them every day. Emotions influence the way we make decisions, evaluate risks, solve problems and categorize information. In advertising and product design, emotions are a really well-known subject. In web design, emotional design has just recently made its way to usability. After giving you 3 reasons to embrace emotional design, you will learn how to use typography to: 1. Avoid negative experiences with typography that require more attention and effort from users, which leads to unnecessary frustration and dangerous aversion of your site. 2. Create a positive experience and enhance user performance with your website, so that times flies faster! 3. Add personality and character to your website using typography for a more creative and unique experience. 4. Draw attention to specific areas of your site by creating visually appealing layouts and harmony. 5. Be clear and consistent for a more effective message. 6. And finally, encourage people to share their experiences and create long-lasting relationships with users. All of these subjects will be presented in a very easy and engaging way, with practical examples and tools to solidify the concepts. It is not necessary to have any specific knowledge about design and typography (some basic terms will be introduced during the presentation). Recommended for web designers, graphic designers and UX designers.
