Lots of Good Resources

2011-08-03T11:12:00.007-05:00

Here is the much overdue update with the latest resources I found worthy of being bookmarked. Before I get to them, here is a nice proverb:

A peacock who sits on his tail is just another turkey.

My favorite one from the bunch is The 50 Things Every Creative Should Know. Has really good points and graphics. Take away: "Success is not a finite resource".

The Noun Project - this makes me start drawing each of these objects, one a day...one day.

The UI Guide to Buttons has some useful Photoshop tips and the associated psd file.

Kickstarter project, lots of good ideas waiting to be funded.

How to Teach Someone Graphic Design - title says it all.

Premium Pixels - has free psd files and online tutorials.

Teach Yourself Graphic Design - Online courses

Matching Requirements with User Experience

Starting June 26, 2011 I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) and a member of the Scrum Alliance.

Essential and Desirable Skills for a UX Designer - excellent article from the folks at UXMatters. Have it handy whenever you update your resume or portfolio.

How to Draw Cute Kawaii - Loved this, hope you will too. I was surprised there aren't so many good resources on Kawaii on web.

Ending with another quotation

I’ve been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving.--Jeffery Veen

Basics

Here is a great quote from Alan Cooper's About Face :

Design is not a visual facelift to an implementation model. Design properly deployed identifies user needs and defines a detailed plan for the behavior and appearance of products. It provides a true product definition, based on user's goals, needs of business and constraints of technology.

Latest Findings

* A quotation from Jacob Nielsen: Read the whole interview with Jacob Nielsen at UTest.

* The UI Style Guide from Microsoft.

* Why you can't do research simply by asking users what they want http://bit.ly/8HZDXo

You can’t just retrofit a strong user experience on top of a confused architecture. The peanut butter theory of design is false. (It claims that if you smear a thick enough layer on top, you can hide the taste of what’s below.)

Bad Usability Examples

2009-09-28T09:35:00.007-05:00

Inspired by the IXDA list with the "Unusable Things" thread and a recent presentation I had to give, here are a couple of examples that are good for presentations intros:

1) The Boarding Pass
This is based on a true story, from my last trip to a customer site. One needs to find the right seat on a plane. However, we need the right seat on the right plane!!! The woman sitting next to me pulled the wrong boarding pass and even the flight attendant did not figure it out why there are two passengers with the same seat. It took them a good 10 minutes to realize what's wrong. Why? Because the destination airport is tucked in the lower left corner with smaller type. On the other hand, "Boarding Pass" label is displayed in big, bold type pretending to be the most important information a user would need. Were the designers worried that we would mistake it for a restaurant menu?!

2) Always a good ice breaker...

The Power of Field Studies - Jared Spool

2009-09-18T09:15:00.004-05:00

This is an oldie but still a goodie. You can find it here:

http://www.uie.com/articles/field_studies/

Some excerpts:
* From field studies one can learn 1) terminology and processes, 2) context, 3) similarities and differences.

1) Terminology and processes: What do users do and how do they talk about it? While users can describe a process or share terms in an interview format, watching them work points out subtleties that they are unaware of.

2) Context: What are the external forces that will impact the design? Do the user's requirements change when they are rushed or up against a deadline? People have trouble describing the context of their work, however it's easy for outsiders to observe.

3) Similarities and differences: Visiting multiple sites can allow the team to collect a rich amount of information about the commonalities that appear across environments, along with the variations that will impact design decisions (such as providing switches, options, and optional features). Just compiling a list of similarities and differences observed in 4 separate visits can really help a team focus on the critical functionality and requirements for a project.

* Users can't describe activities that they don't focus on. When you have an audience that is experienced at what they do, they often don't pay attention to the small steps involved. An outside observer will see these "unspeakeables" and can document them in ways that the participats can't.

Complex Data Tables Design Tips

2009-09-15T08:28:00.006-05:00

Tips from a recent discussion on IXDA List

Reduction: Display only that data that the end user really needs to see (and examine a role based solution, if that's helpful).

Customization: Consider whether the user can create or customize the data display for their own purposes.

Visualization: Consider whether visual aids or mechanisms aid the display of data in a table or even potentially replace them completely.

Compression: Reducing the size of data display space to the minimum possible.

Abbreviation: Abbreviating data where required

Stacking: Stacking data display space so that the line is no longer a single row across.

Hide / reveal: Using hide reveal techniques like twisties and tooltip popups (on hover).

In addition to looking at the data table from the point of view of different roles and displaying info accordingly, try using the same premise for tasks.

One person commented that in a project she worked on, one role regularly performed two types of tasks. And the information needed for each task was somewhat different. So, they created a different view for each task with a toggle mechanism so the user could easily switch from one to the other.

Speed

2009-08-17T10:04:00.003-05:00

Great data, I am missing the source:

Speed is essential to making any user interface feel responsive. Interface elements must render within 0.1 seconds to suggest physicality and make users feel like a display's changes are a direct result of their actions. Slow-rendering GUI elements seem sluggish and make users feel like the computer is making things happen, not them.

You should test your mega drop-down implementation's response time on a variety of computers and browsers. Include the best-selling platform from 5 years ago, because a good number of your customers will still be using it.

Don't make response time too fast, though: the mouse should remain stationary for 0.5 seconds before you display anything that's hover-dependent, such as a mega drop-down or a tooltip. Violating this guideline will make the screen flicker insufferably when users move the mouse. Only after 0.5 seconds of resting the pointer on a navbar item can you assume that a user actually wants to see its associated drop-down.

Thus, the timing should be:

Wait 0.5 seconds.
If the pointer is still hovering over a navbar item, display its mega drop-down within 0.1 seconds.
Keep showing it until the pointer has been outside both the navbar item and the drop-down for 0.5 seconds. Then, remove it in less than 0.1 seconds.
One exception to item 3: The very best implementations can sense when a user is moving the pointer from the navbar item to a destination within the drop-down. When the pointer is on such a path, the drop-down should remain visible. This supplementary guideline addresses thediagonal problem, which happens when the path temporarily takes the pointer outside the active area. The drop-down shouldn't disappear when the user is on the way to point to something within it.

The diagonal problem:
The pointer path goes outside the area that keeps the drop-down active.

In the above example, the user first pointed to the "Holidays & Parties" navbar item and now wants to select "Appetizers." Moving the pointer between these two spots makes it cross the "In Season Now" navbar item. Many users will move so fast that the pointer will exit the active area for less than 0.5 seconds. However, older or leisurely users might move the mouse so slowly that the drop-down would disappear while they're still aiming for a menu item. Very annoying.

Then select it and it will be opened in a new photoshop file. now press control A, on the keyboard and this will select the entire image. now on the keyboard hold control and press C. that will copy the image. now go to your picture that you have made so far. and hold control and press V(or apple V on mac), which will paste the image that you coppied. now its over the image. if you have to resize the image you pasted just press control T, which means transform, and you can move or resize the image, after that hit enter. and im guessing you can figure out how to use the eraser and stuff.

That may depend on your goals. I recall reading a study (and Google is failing me here - so I hope somebody can back me up here - it was about 10/15 years ago) where they monitored completion times for a task along with user satisfaction. Allowing folk to change the colour scheme made user satisfaction improve - but made task completion time slower. This was a desktop app - not a web app.

100 pct Orange

2008-09-06T16:40:00.005-05:00

This site design from 100 % orange is one of my absolute favorites at the moment. The illustrations are really good as well, too bad they only sell in Japan. I wish I was there...maybe someday.

Akemi Tezuka
More from Japan...with love. Not surprised that I find so many Japanese illustrators that I like. Tezuka is one of them. There are two places that I really love one is Japan, the other one is France, Paris to be more precise. I need to dig dipper into the French market, I think I only have one illustrator so far: Delphine Durand, one of my first entries in this blog.

More Illustrations

2008-08-26T21:14:00.015-05:00

I continue to go through the links section from the Nut and Bee website so I will keep posting illustrations for a while (be patient, it might be a long while). Today it's S.Britt a self taught artist. Oh, and did I mention he also has a links section? His homepage has the home button as an
iglu. I thought that was funny.

Mika Ohmori
Ok, I started following the links from S. Brit and of course I got plenty more yummy stuff. I wonder if one can be indeed addicted to illustrations. My guess right now is the answer is yes.

This is a logo on his site with a cute little gif annimation to the right of it.

I spent two weeks in Romania. Comics do not have much traction there. It was really hard to find anything in a bookstore that had any drawings whatsoever. Not that we do not have talented artists there, just that there really is no market for it, or so I think.

Andre Jordan - Doodler

2008-07-10T21:13:00.006-05:00

I continue to explore the designers from Moo.com and today I found Andrew Jordan . It was interesting to see that he calls himself a doodler. More about him on the column on bbc.co.uk; and on this Q&A section. He suffered of depression and received therapy and his drawings have insights from this journey. I would like to see his book.

I was impressed with Sandra's first attempt at hand drawing. It came up really good I hope she keeps it up. She blogs at Yarnivore.

Nut and Bee
I do not remember exactly how I got to Moo.com yesterday but there is a ton to see there. So far I discovered Nut and Bee. Their illustrations are very sweet. They are almost too good if this is possible. I think if I would recommend one thing would be for them to update the site design. Their drawings are so super and the web design does not really help with the theme. But I liked the shopping cart icon. One more thing, their links page has a lot of good stuff I need to come back to... Now I know, if I have a hard time making up my mind on which image to upload, I really like the artist.

I discovered Delphine Durand from her illustrations for "Eat! Cried Little Pig". This is one of the books that I picked at the library, with my kids, based on the illustration style. It is definitely a favorite of mine and the kids liked the book too. What's better than a win-win situation?! There's a lot more to see on her blog at http://delphinedurand.blogspot.com/.

Library Checklist
Just fond this list for comics and more at http://home.earthlink.net/~copaceticcomicsco/GiftGuide.html#COMICS. It recommends Mark Alan Stamaty and Scott McCloud so it must be good.
