SpoolCast: Visual Design for the Non-Designer

Added on 9 October 2009 Peter Bogaards
“What can a non-designer do to harness the power of visual design without calling professional help? Quite a lot, says internationally-regarded visual designer Dan Rubin. We called Dan to talk about what design techniques are accessible to mere mortals. He also gave us a preview of his day-long workshop for non-designers at our User Interface 14 Conference, this November.” (Jared Spool – UIE)

Elements of a Networked Urbanism

Added on 22 September 2009 Peter Bogaards
“Over the past several years, we’ve watched as a very wide variety of objects and surfaces familiar from everyday life have been reimagined as networked information-gathering, -processing, -storage and -display resources. Why should cities be any different? What happens to urban form and metropolitan experience under such circumstances? What are the implications for us, as designers, consumers and as citizens?” (Adam Greenfield – dConstruct)

Interview with Scott Berkun

Added on 3 July 2009 Peter Bogaards
“In 1956 a documentary called The Mystery of Picasso was released, showing two hours of Pablo Picasso doing what he did best: making paintings. This film gave the public a first-hand glimpse directly into this infamous artist’s creative process. Public speaker and writer Scott Berkun and I got together for tea to talk about the film and our own experiences around creativity. As both managers of creative teams and creators of work ourselves, we looked at how our processes aligned with Picasso’s… or where we could learn from him. As the discussion unfolded, we came up with an interesting set of guidelines that enable creativity to flourish.” (Tea with Teresa)

In this introductory segment, I asked him about the 1976 AIA Conference (I posted a PDF of the advance program from this milestone in the history of Information Architecture a few weeks ago), about the job-title ‘information architect’ and also about librarianship as it pertains (or not) to his concept of IA. Many more segments to follow!” – (Dan Klyn – Wildly Appropriate) courtesy of petermorville

Getting a Form’s Structure Right: Designing Usable Online Email Applications

Added on 13 March 2009 Peter Bogaards
“I had the opportunity to speak with Afshan Kirmani on her article. (…) We talk about the design of an online web based application. Part 1 of the series focuses on the web based form where the user experience is critical before the user enters the application. The various aspects include a good entry point into a form which determines if users stay or leave. The beginning of every form is most important as details like usability set your apart from your competitors.” – (Jeff Parks – Boxes and Arrows)
