 Google I/O, UX Writer, Subject Lines, and more UX this weekWhat's hot in UX this week:
Best practices for horizontal lists in mobile →Many Android and iOS apps have horizontal scrolling lists. But are they necessary? Even assuming they are, are you doing it right? How to build a sentiment score chart →The struggle to present qualitative data findings is one that can easily vex even the best user researchers. It is quite difficult to turn participants' open responses into quantitative data. Creating dynamic icons in Sketch →In the past, designers spent countless hours creating many colors and sizes for the same icon. What if you could do that dynamically? Why your design team should hire a writer →Whether you call it UX writing, product writing, or content design, it's clear that the words in your design matter. Sounds simple, right? Making an impact with UX research insights →You've completed your in-depth interviews, your contextual inquiry or your usability testing. What comes next? Impact. A mindful design process →How integrating mindfulness techniques will help you become a stronger designer and a more engaged team member. Why IA matters for UX: a brief history of information architecture →Information architecture (IA) is essentially a mental wayfinding system. It helps users navigate your content by arranging information to be understandable. Taking responsibility for the things you launch →Launching scares the shit out of me. No matter what it is. The sheer thought of hitting the publish button freaks me out every single time… What everyone ought to know about subject lines →In most things in life, roughly 80% of effects come from only 20% of the causes. It's called the Pareto Principle, and it means that a small number of things will have a disproportionate impact. Google I/O HighlightsGoogle Lens is Google Search powered by image recognition; Google Assistant is coming to iOS; Google Home has a lot of new features, including phone calls; Google Photos now lets you print beautiful photo books; Google released a new AI chip designed to train and execute deep neural networks.

A year ago…The evolution of UX challenges →Over the last couple years, whenever people asked me what UX designers do, I always came up with something like: we try to design things that people will love. And while it sounds like an awesome mission, our job is more complex than working in silos and coming up with revolutionary mockups to make the world a better place. UX design is not a one-man show. We have to work closely with fellow designers, engineers, researchers, managers, business stakeholders, and clients. And while our ultimate goal is to make our users happy, in many cases the hardest part is that we have to make compromises. More than 140k designers receive our emails and follow our posts every week. Follow us on Medium → Like the links? Share the love ♥ |
