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

[Jon Pearce]

We can probably arrange an audio recording (it happens automatically - pick
it up as a podcast later). If the organisers haven't requested this we might
be able to get in a late request (meant to give 5 days notice!).

If I hear in the morning that a recording has NOT already been set up I am
happy to chase it up.

This, of course, assumes that Luke is happy with this ;)

Silvia - can you respond please?

Cheers...Jon

>> 

>> 

>> 

>> Designing for Web 2.0

>> 

>> Ignore the marketing buzz word in the title, this talk is all about what

>> do

>> 

>> recent changes online REALLY mean for the practicing designer. In

>> particular,

>> 

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

>> 

>> visual/interaction design of Web services/products. Namely, the trend

>> from

>> 

>> 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.

>> 

>> 

>> 

>> Reviews

>> 

>> "Kudos on an excellent presentation -- very detailed and

>> thought-provoking," - Dmitry Paperny, Design Director, Time Inc.

>> Interactive

>> 

>> "I sat in on your presentation last week at the Web 2.0 Expo...

>> brilliant." -Karla A. Tharin, Program Director, AOL Paid Services

>> 

>> "I was blown away by your talk and I would really love to implement what

>> you spoke about."- Manny Goldman Founder, PersonalGrowth.com
