Design School

A group of design students toured a shop I'm working with, so I demonstrated UX by doing a quick survey.

• Interested in print design? All but one.
• Interested in digital design? Just a few.

It's the opposite of what I would have predicted.

Are they in love with print because it's retro? Because they see digital as just ads?

They played along with the joke that I had just perpetrated user research on them.

The Bacon Conference: BarCampNashville

It's over now, and what a day -- so many great speakers, so much support from the community.

Nice logo on the shirts: burgundy on cream for the crew, and reversed for the rest.

My preso on UX Leadership is up here: "UX: See, Speak, Share." Main points I hit:

• Show people things they've never seen before, and things they've never imagined.
  
  
• Interfaces are songs, and they have a beat, so make yours go vroom vroom beep beep.
  
  
• Learning the methodologies, buzzwords and tools is the least of it. Buy the books, use Google, go to workshops, and be ready to take what you need and leave the rest.

Do you work for love or money? Either one is okay; just know the difference.
