Episode 58 – You’ve defined the problem. Now what?!

This week, Chris and Jon continue their series on defining an effective design process. Once you’ve figured out the problem, what should you do next? There are so many things that can happen (and usually do!) and Chris and Jon give their insights on what to focus on next. Stay tuned to part 2 of this series!

We’re doing a series of shows devoted to “the dreaded P word!“, based on the essay that Chris wrote. We’ll have more in-depth discussion in the coming weeks!

Episode 56 – The 10th Anniversary of the iPhone

This week, Jon and Chris talk about the recent keynote from Apple. The show starts with a quick product review of all the different product announcements made by Tim Cook & co. Then in the second half, they get into a discussion about what’s happened with Apple over the past 10 years, and why they may no longer be the center of innovation in the post-Jobs era. Stay tuned for a different kind of Design Review episode!

Episode 17 – Nielsen’s Usability Heuristics: Part 2

It’s part 2 of our 5 part series on UX fundamentals laid out by Jakob Nielson.

If you missed part 1, you can find it here.

User control and freedom

Users often choose system functions by mistake and will need a clearly marked “emergency exit” to leave the unwanted state without having to go through an extended dialogue. Support undo and redo.

Consistency and standards

Users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean the same thing. Follow platform conventions.

10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design by Jakob Nielson

The apps are:

Webflow

Carousel by Dropbox

 

Chris’ Project: Designers and Shoes

Jonathan’s Book: Tragic Design

Episode 1 – 2by2! app

This week, Chris and Jonathan take a look at a new photo sharing app 2by2! (iOS only).

2by2! is a unique concept in photo sharing because users can create double exposure images and share them with the app. In this episode, we go through the whole experience of using it, from onboarding to visual design, to product enhancements.
