Prototyping Tools and Process — Greylock Perspectives We hosted our latest Greylock Design Community event at Medium where leading designers across the Valley came to learn from each other and have a discussion about the various design tools and processes teams use. The design industry is undergoing a huge transformation — we are seeing more prototyping tools than ever before. This increase in the number and breadth of various prototyping tools is fueled by three factors: 1) the rise in mobile apps; 2) the rise of the importance of design; and 3) users expectations for well designed and intuitive applications. With the help of our design founding members — Lia Napolitano and Brooks Haasig — we issued a survey to quantify the prototyping process of design teams behind some of today’s most well designed products including Medium, Airbnb, Uber, Apple, Eventbrite, Pinterest and more. Here are a few key highlights from what we learned. Asset Creation:

Over on Sparring Mind, I discuss the relation between social psychology and content marketing for startups (That tie-in is very obvious, as psychology is directly related to popular content). The thing is, many psych studies can actually serve as an amazing resource for web designers as well, because they can give some insight on how the human mind works (and how it interacts with websites). Today I’ve got 5 such studies that will give you some solid research on smart web design. Without further adieu, let’s dig in!
UX vs UI vs IA vs IxD : 4 Confusing Digital Des... - UI/UX Design Things - Quora Originally post at UX vs UI vs IA vs IxD : 4 Confusing Digital Design Terms Defined Once upon a time, if you said the word “design”, the odds were overwhelmingly likely you were talking about graphic design.
