    Miles and Nick take a look into the past to see how certain app views have changed over time, and think about how UX decision making has shifted since the early days of the web. If you want to try this yourself, visit http://web.archive.org Work Association is a show hosted by two creative agency founders that started playing a word association game to help them expand the way they think about design, technology, and branding. Each episode is a discussion based around a featured word, researched by one of the two hosts. That host then chooses the next word for the other host to research for the following episode, and the cycle continues. We hope to use Work Association to get listeners thinking differently about how they approach problems and design challenges. Thanks for listening.

    07: Scale

    It's often said that the difference between art and design is that art's purpose is to communicate or provoke thought and emotion, while design's purpose is to perform or enable a function. But often, in order to perform that function, design does need to provoke thought or emotion as well. On this episode, we talk about how design principles can be used to communicate ideas and convey emotions–often without words. Oh yeah, and we also talk about dinosaurs.

    06: Form

    Having proper form, in the world of exercise and sport, is extremely beneficial in maximizing the efficiency of a movement and reducing the chance of injury.

    05: Vision

    It seems like every time Nick researches a word for this show, he finds something really weird about how the human brain works and subsequently blows Miles' mind. This time we talk about the ways that things like the sense of sight, color, language, speech, and imagination intersect. And then we unpack how these things relate to the worlds of branding and business leadership. It's a shorter episode than the past few episodes of Work Association, but there's just as much of an insight-per-minute factor.

    03: Ubiquitous

    When you're using the Internet to do research, falling down a rabbit hole is pretty easy to do. And when that happens, things can get...strange. Join us as Nick talks about how he went from a Google search for "ubiquitous technology" to learning about the electromagnetic spectrum and how technological innovation tends to be followed by conspiracy theories.

    02: Attraction

    When it comes to how the word "attraction" relates to things like user experience design and digital marketing, your mind may go to concepts like attracting customers or getting and holding a user's attention. But on this episode, Miles takes us in a completely different direction. Find out how theme park attraction design can help digital designers approach their work in new ways.
