Design snippets
Well, I have the paper done and turned in for my Digital Economy class, so now I just have to finish the report and presentation for my UCD class (due Thursday). I have a weblog entry percolating about the Larry Constantine CHI report re usability testing, but that will need to wait for tomorrow or the next day. In the meantime, how about checking out these snippets from xBlog? There's this one on why good design comes from bad design and this one on visual language (note to self: probably should acquire Yuri's dissertation). The first was of particular interest to me, in part because it is so easy to slip into the "let's mock up a design and present it to the client" mindset. Obviously any good designer can create something that the client can respond to, but without creating alternatives or exercising one's design muscle, solutions can wind up less than their fullest potential.
