UX Australia Podcast: All presentations from 2009-2014 UX Australia

The questions we ask ourselves at the idea generation stage of design play a critical role in the nature of the ideas generated. Bold questions beget bold ideas; and incrementalism begins in the same way. In this talk we will look at how problem framing and reframing can impact the ideas teams generate, and how problem statements can be ‘tuned’ to better deliver feasible concepts within your organisation. We’ll look at some recent examples from our work at Meld Studios as well as some well-known case studies from around the world.

This talk reflects interests and confusions in user experience design by comparing two approaches to UX, experience as principle or as the subject, and by introducing “logic of behavior” and “aesthetics of experience” developed by Xin at Jiangnan University. It will also discuss how design may participate in the social and economic transformation of China.

Whether you’re drowning in data or struggling for insights the hardest thing can be getting a project out of the gate. Like Johnny Cash sang, the key is to take it “One Piece at a Time.” I’ll talk about ways to rethink starting (or re-starting) a project without getting overwhelmed.

More designers are being tasked with designing solutions where the contexts of use. purchase, and even realized value may be completely separate. This and other factors that will be used to define the unique attributes of “The Enterprise”. I’ll then relate some stories of my 10+ years of experience specifically designing for these environments where scale, complexity, business models, and culture.

In my usability and user research recruiting I’m worried that I’m getting too many nice people who are self-selecting to participate because they are giving and supportive people. To have a well-rounded picture, we need to talk to the jerks. How do I find the jerks?

Interested in responsive design? Richard and Jolanda will share their key insights in redesigning one of the most highly trafficked Victorian Government websites into a smart, engaging experience. Learn about the challenges of responsive design for large websites and how they resolved them. The VicRoads website will go live one month before the conference.
