Things designers and developers should know (WDS18)Ben Buchanan

My talk from Web Directions Summit 2018, about things designers and developers should know about each other. If you've ever asked or been asked "should designers code", this talk is for you :)
Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology. Designers use visual elements like images, typography, photography and illustration to effectively communicate ideas and messages to an audience. They work with clients to understand the purpose and content of a message, then develop concepts and work with other specialists like illustrators, photographers, printers to create the final graphic design product.
This design portfolio showcases work in logo design, print design, and web design created using Adobe software like Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. Projects include logos and direct mail pieces, posters and postcards raising awareness of environmental issues, invitation packages, and a website for a historical society. The portfolio is presented by a designer named Deb who thanks visitors for viewing her work.
The artist reflects on their most proud work being a logo design that brought together their skills while creating something usable for the customer. They also discuss a portrait project they would redo to make it less sloppy using current skills. Additionally, they see computer generated art having a strong role in their future as it is fun, challenging, and can supplement an illustration career through graphic design and advertising work.
The document summarizes a 12-week intensive program called DESIGNATION that trains people to become digital designers. The program consists of 6 weeks of online prep work followed by 12 weeks of in-person immersion training covering topics like UX design, front-end development, and UI design. Students then spend their final weeks working on team and individual projects to build their portfolios before receiving post-graduation career support and mentorship from DESIGNATION.
The document discusses creating a visualisation for planning a sci-fi movie. It defines key terms like visualisation, audience, and purpose. The lesson goals are to create an effective visualisation and review it against the client brief. Learners are tasked with sketching character designs from different angles and evaluating how well their visualisation serves its intended purpose.

The document discusses designer founders in tech. It defines what is meant by design, which goes beyond just visual design to include interface, information architecture, interaction design, functional specifications, content requirements, underlying technology, and user-product-business hypotheses and objectives. It defines what is meant by designer founders, noting they need skills across engineering, design, and business stacks as well as the ability to continuously guide their product and organization through design cycles. Critical assertions made are that differentiated brand and experience design from designer founders will be crucial to short- and long-term success in the crowded consumer tech market, and having a multi-disciplinary designer founder is a competitive advantage.

The document discusses essential design principles for developers to improve understanding, communication and collaboration with designers. It covers design research, interaction design and graphic design. The presentation emphasizes making intent visible through ensuring interactive elements are visible, recognizable, have feedback, and are safe and consistent. It encourages developers to validate their ideas through quick user interviews, and to appreciate good design while avoiding some common mistakes.
The CIID students set up an open interaction design lab at the 2-day Reboot conference to act as consultants for any ideas conference participants wanted to share. The lab was located in the center of the venue. This was the first time Reboot tried this open lab approach. The students worked with participants and helped develop ideas that were then displayed and published. The following pages provide a diary of the students' experiences at Reboot 11.
Rethinking the Interaction Design PortfolioJoel Califa
油
This document discusses how interaction designers currently use PDF portfolios that do not showcase interactivity, which is counterintuitive. It proposes redesigning the interaction design portfolio to be fully interactive and portray the roles of an interaction designer through visual design, information architecture, usability, copywriting, and delighting the user. The redesigned portfolio would use in-line interactions and mockups to demonstrate projects in their original context while keeping the user on the site. The goal is to correctly showcase interaction design and make the portfolio experience interactive.

Mood Board Creator for Wedding Planning InstitutionsSampleBoard
油
The document describes SampleBoard, cloud-based concept creation software that allows professionals to create digital mood boards and visual concepts online. Some key points:
- It provides an alternative to PowerPoint or Photoshop for visual concept creation that does not require downloads or expensive software.
- Users can access SampleBoard from anywhere via the cloud to collaborate remotely.
- Features include drag and drop tools, color palettes, importing/uploading images, and exporting/sharing boards.
- It offers cost and time savings compared to traditional desktop software through a subscription model without upgrades, reduced IT overhead, and cloud-based storage and backups.
Were seeing a potential devaluation of the term UX as lots of inexperienced designers and developers make the slow (and often incomplete) move into user experience.
Looking at how crafts transform into professions by charting the history of Architecture, Andy will explain what the discipline really is, how it evolved, and the skills you need to call yourself a user experience designer.
Andy will outline 10 key traits of a user experience professional and argue that we need to evolve in order to face the challenges ahead. He will also state that user experience doesn't just belong to one role, but is everybody's responsibility. So you don't have to switch careers and become a UX designer in order to influence a product's experience.
The document outlines the typical steps in a web design process: 1) Conducting research including interviewing the client, researching the industry and competitors, and reviewing successful web designs; 2) Designing and conceptualizing concepts based on the research; 3) Getting feedback and making revisions; 4) Presenting the final design to the client; and 5) Evaluating the process and end result.

Promoting Sustainable Development of Hill Areas --Issues and OptionsJIT KUMAR GUPTA
油
Managing and Rationalising Indias Hill Areas Growth and Development ; Hill areas are known to be different and distinct from plain areas of any country, because of its unique diversity, physiography, structure, topography, morphology, flora, fauna, herbs, fruits, vegetation, bio-diversity, climate, culture, heritage, fragility, vulnerability, nature, natural resource, views, quality of life, lakes, glaciers, mobility, infrastructure, built structures etc. Occupying 17% geographical areas and housing 11% national population, hill areas occupy unique space and importance in the growth story of India, as a nation.
Despite distinct character, role , relevance and importance of rational planned development of hill areas, its overall / integrated development and management has been marginalized. With priority and resources going to the plain areas of the country, hill areas are being subjected to large unplanned, irrational and sub-standard growth and development. Accordingly, hill areas are fast becoming hotbeds of vulnerability, both natural and manmade, facing large number of challenges in terms of earthquakes, landslides and flooding, leading to massive loss of human life, animals, infrastructure, built environment and property. Current scenario of irrational, unplanned and haphazard development in hill areas can be, primarily and essentially, attributed to the absence of adequately trained manpower in the art and science of planning, development and management of the hill areas and giving low priority to rationalising development of hill areas. Having special and specific features, hill areas pose different/unique challenges in planning and development and accordingly need different skill-sets, understanding, expertise and approach to its planning and development. Unfortunately, despite having large area and housing large population, no institution in the country offers specialized course in the planning, development , construction and management of hill areas. It is time for Government of India and hill states of India, to ask all IITs/Nits/SPAs and other private universities, located in the hill states to run dedicate specialized courses for the planning, development and management of hill areas. In addition, Government of India, must enact a law and Constitute a High Powered National, Hill Area Planning and Development Authority , on the pattern of NCR Delhi , comprising of representatives of Government of India, hill states and experts from the related fields, under the overall Chairmanship of Minister-in Charge Hill States with Ministers of hill states, Chief Secretaries of Hill States as members , to define the agenda and roadmap for the integrated growth and development of hill states of the country. The Authority should be mandated to prepare the Regional plan of the entire Himalayan Region and provide framework for the states to draw its own Regional Plan. This would help in not only ensuring integrated growth
