 UX portfolios, writing products, discoverability in touchscreens, and more UX this weekThis week's most thought-provoking UX links on the interwebs.
How to build a UX portfolio if I have never worked in UX? →A lot of user experience professionals who are active in our industry today have faced the question above when starting their career. Let's be honest: it's a bit unfair. "Portfolio" is a mandatory field in almost every job application form, regardless of the level you're applying to. But wait. I'm only able to be hired as a UX Designer when I have a certain number of projects on my portfolio. But if I have never worked in UX, how am I supposed to build a portfolio with interesting and relevant UX case studies? Oh, the paradoxes in our industry… Feedback that gives focus →A lifelong dislike for feedback, since sixth grade. But processing ideas and synthesizing feedback is a big part of what we do for a living. By Dave Peth. How to write products →Writing is something designers do all the time — buttons, navigation, etc — but rarely with the same rigor as visuals and design patterns. By Ben Hersh. What makes a good design principle? →Writing design principles comes pretty naturally. However, it's unclear what exactly a good design principle really is. By Matthew Ström. How to stop UX research being a blocker →With the move away from overly managed waterfall projects to cross-functional agile teams, it can be hard to fit research in the process. By Ben Ralph. Discoverability in the age of touchscreens →How do you understand systems that rely solely on gestures that are invisible to the eye? By Jorge Arango. Your idea is the cheapest thing you own →Decoupling secrecy and ideas is the first step towards actually getting something done. How to do your workshop right →Successful workshops are the result of carefully planning an experience, applying techniques and complying with principles. By Dan Nessler. The context canvas →Canvases are living documents you place on the wall of your team workplace to create shared context. Here's a work in progress model. By Christina Wodtke. Cognitive overload and feature discovery in mobile →What snake detection teaches us about layers of cognition — and other interesting stories. By david jones. Mobile UI myths you should throw out the window →A white lie here and there is no big deal. The problem arises when lies turn into full-grown myths, then become accepted as truths. By Alex Jasin.
