++++++
Interaction 10 conference in Savannah GA was a fabulous convergence of great content, awesome discussion, and engaging activities with members of our community.
IxDA Columbus is planning a recap of the sessions and talks that we observed, including:
The Importance of Facial Features - Gretchen Anderson
Delighting those who use our designs is a tricky thing. We all want our audience to have a love at first sight experience. This often comes down to choosing the facial features (those key things your users see first) for your product. Getting this choice right often challenges conventional interaction design methods. This session will look at ways to design those key items for a great experience and killer “thumbnail equity.”
Designing for Solitude - Ben Fullerton
During this session, Ben will discuss a brief history of solitude, why it’s important to us as humans, why technology is making it more and more difficult to reach, and how we might design to enable it.
Thinking like a Storyteller - Cindy Chastain
Storytelling is all about engagement. Designing with a narrative in mind can make a difference between a product that merely functions will and one that engages the minds and emotions of users. This session will explore how an understanding of narrative techniques can make us better designers.
Keynote: My Heart is in the Work - Jon Kolko
In 1900, Andrew Carnegie quietly declared that his “heart is in the work”. This talk will examine our ability to affect change at the intersection of experience, behavior, meaning, and culture, and will emphasize our responsibility to approach our work with philanthropic enthusiasm that would make Carnegie proud.
