[chisigmail] Who is attending?: CHISIG Victoria: Luke Wroblewski on (trusted: hiser.com.au) "Designing for Web 2.0" Feb 7

[Ming Lee]

Hi,

I am very interested in attending Luke Wroblewski's presentation, but 
unfortunately I'm over 15,000 kms away in Helsinki, Finland (!)  If 
someone is attending this and is willing to help me attend "remotely" 
please let me know.

One easy option is to use a a mobile phone with a good quality 
hands-free feature -- I could telephone you, then put myself on mute 
and listen.

There are other options such as recording video and audio, but I think 
this requires quite a bit of effort (and there are more things to go 
wrong :)

If you could help with this, please email me your number and I could 
call at 18:20, 10 minutes before the presentation starts.  Thanks in 
advance, and enjoy the evening.

Regards,
Ming Lee

> I outline a few important trends then explain their impact on the

>

> locomotion to manipulation and conversation (how to deal with crowded

> shelf

> space and purely digital services); the trend from sites to content

>

> experiences (how do we design when search, content aggregators, and

>

> display surfaces rule the Web); the trend from page-level interactions

> to

>

> micro-interactions (how can we explain available actions and their

> states);

>

> the move from only webmasters making content to everyone making content

>

> (what does this do to creative control). The focus is mostly on the

>

> presentation layer but some information architecture and interaction

> design

>

> considerations come up as well.

>

>

>

> Why it matters: what does the growth of search, social apps, and

> participatory culture really mean in my day to day life as a Web

> designer.

> What do I need to think about and act on that I didn't before.

> Official Description

>

> As a predominately visual medium, the Web has always benefited from the

>

> appropriate use of Visual Communication principles: balance, proportion,

>

> contrast, color, and typography. But the Web has also had its own set of

>

> unique considerations: screen resolution, browsers, platforms, and

> multiple

>

> devices. With Web 2.0, these considerations have expanded to include a

> new

>

> array of services to remix and distribute micro-content (APIs, RSS), as

> well

>

> as participatory content created by communities. How can visual design

>

> enhance user experience when your audience might be coming from a

>

> browser, an RSS feed, or a widget? How does visual design communicate

>

> your brand when your brand is created daily by your community? This

>

> presentation will address these questions and more with an overview of

> key

>

> Visual Communication principles and before and after examples that

> illustrate

>

> how to optimize your visual vocabulary for Web 2.0 and beyond.
