Startups, This Is How Design Works – by Wells Riley
UX is not UI | Hello Erik // UX User Experience Designer // Portfolio // Erik Flowers // Salt Lake City, UT
“UX is the intangible design of a strategy that brings us to a solution.” UX has become a neologism. When something has “good UX” it is an implied meaning of having the core components of UX (research, maybe a persona, IA, interaction, interface, etc etc…). It’s not really necessary or desirable to tack the word design onto the end anymore. It’s a distraction and leads people down a parallel but misguided path… the path to thinking that UX = User Interface Design. I was inspired to write this post after viewing Elisabeth Hubert’s (@lishubert) presentation at the Future of Web Design 2012 conference in Prague. The interface is not the solution. That’s the true heart of the battle between UX and those who only want UI – or don’t know the difference. How UX people see UX UX is an acronym for “user experience.” Many UX designers have started to re-label themselves as UX Architects, UX Engineers, or UX Strategists. So what does UX actually mean? What we want them to see What they typically see
Design researchers must think fast and slow
Generally, we think of research as the focused, systematic collection of data, over time, in keeping with a given framework or theory. In this view, research is intended to confirm or deny given hypotheses, and incrementally improve our knowledge about a given topic. We know from the book Thinking Fast and Slow, however, that this research approach only serves one type of thinking. Thinking Fast and Slow author Daniel Kahneman tells us that “Type 2” or “slow thinking” is a disciplined, focused, kind of thought that roughly matches the deductive reasoning of the scientific method and other traditional forms of research. But Type 1 or “fast thinking” is less structured, more instinctual, and involves the more reptilian parts of the brain. Design research is both thinking fast, and thinking slow. Gifted researchers engage in both thinking fast, and thinking slow. C. “…You will notice that no one project ever dominates [the files], or sets the master categories in which it is arranged.

Don't Build When You Build-Measure-Learn
Wizard of Oz To run a "Wizard of Oz" MVP, set up a front stage that mimics a real, working value proposition. On the back-end you will manually carry out the tasks of what would normally be a more automated process for delivering your value proposition. *Check out our new book Value Proposition Design for deeper understanding of how to create these MVPs. Choosing Your MVP Build-Measure-Learn is sequential to how you carry out the actions in the search phase. Start by understanding what you need to "learn". At the early stages of a new venture it’s important to explore numerous MVPs and alternative ways of testing your ideas. What's your favorite high-efficiency, low-cost MVP?
Don’t Make Me Think: 20 Wise Thoughts about Usability from Steve Krug.
Design, as well as many other fields, is built upon the works and discoveries of the great professionals. Everyone who wants to be an expert in their craft often seeks for the guidance to learn how to do things right. Various books and articles written by gurus are now in a free access on the internet so those striving at knowledge can find the essential instruction without efforts. We often share quotes and wise thoughts from the best experts in the digital design field in Tubik blog. You can find the short insight into Design Is a Job by Mike Monteiro, Designing for Emotion by Aarron Walter, as well as the set of wise thoughts from typography master Erik Spiekermann. The first edition was published in 2000 and then it was revisited in 2014 making it relevant and useful nowadays. If something requires a large investment of time — or looks like it will — it’s less likely to be used. Accessibility is the right thing to do. If you want a great site, you’ve got to test.
