smorgasbord-design : usability: 2008-03-30
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2008_03_30_archive.html
I'm currently BETA (ahem) testing the new blog which will mean that this version will be migrating. I'll be re-directing the www.smorgasbord-design.co.uk address and the feed here will cease to be updated in the near future. In the meantime, take a look at this clever little robot. I don't normally post stuff like this so be happy. And thanks to indexed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. My del.icio.us links. Technorati . my blog.

smorgasbord-design : usability: Unwrapping Apple's Packaging Moments of Truth
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2007/10/regular-readers-if-there-are-any-left.html
Unwrapping Apple's Packaging Moments of Truth. Regular readers (if there are any left after this ridiculous hiatus) will know that despite my vocational specialism in web user experience, my desire to comment on an array of customer experience issues is a recurring theme of this blog. Something which I have never touched upon until now is packaging design. Inspired by a Design Critique. In the podcast they discuss the packaging of an iPod. Maybe this is not by design, but by accident. Maybe it’...Does it...

smorgasbord-design : usability: Documenting the user interface
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2007/02/documenting-user-interface.html
Documenting the user interface. I recently spent an hour explaining to a potential colleague what it was that our team do. I’ve discussed this recently. Partly in reference to a recent Design Critique podcast but, as this particular person is closer to our business, it was possible for me to dispense with the coffee shop analogy. Instead I chose to trawl through some of the documentation I produce. Since taking Dan Brown’s tutorial at User Experience 2006. And introduced iconographic representations....

smorgasbord-design : usability: Unwanted Social Exposure
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2007/10/unwanted-social-exposure.html
The volcanic growth of Facebook. Facebook has a lauded interface for restricting privacy. One can customise their profile so that only their closest friends can view their photos, post on their wall and find out what books they have just read. This control even goes so far as to hide your Facebook presence from particular members. A member of the media litigation team at Olswang. Facebook recently announced (although you may have missed it) that profiles were to become searchable from Google. Althoug...

smorgasbord-design : usability: User Experience 2006, London, “User Experience Documentation”.
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2006/11/user-experience-2006-london-user.html
User Experience 2006, London, “User Experience Documentation”. It was inevitable that I’d want to blog about my session yesterday at the NN/g ‘conference’. What is unexpected however are the amount of thought provocations that I noted down throughout the day with little ‘Blog’ tags attached to them, some of which will end up as fully-fledged posts, others of which are, on reflection, nothing more than idle guff. Or whether it is simply one of those accidental cultural niches that seem to develop. Eit...

smorgasbord-design : usability: The Pervasiveness of the Web
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2007/10/pervasiveness-of-web.html
The Pervasiveness of the Web. Interface orientated blog Functioning Form. Have used a recent NY Times article. To highlight a seep of web-orientated design onto traditional media. Observing rolling news channels and interactive TV offerings certainly shows a similarity with web layout. And not neccessarily for the better. Do we, for example, really benefit from ticking news items below the moving image? Caveat: I realise that distant high-contrast displays like those at train stations are sufficiently fa...

smorgasbord-design : usability: Last Chance Saloon
http://smorgasbord-design.blogspot.com/2007/02/last-chance-saloon.html
A group of us at The Company are heading off in September on the infamous Home 2 Rome banger rally. To this end we have 'launched' a site to detail our progress, Last Chance Saloon. It's my first attempt using WordPress and is changing hourly as I get my head round customisations, CGI, MySQL and tweaking templates. It's going to be permanently linked-to from this blog but to keep up-to-date, here's the Last Chance Saloon RSS Feed. RSS 20) and the Last Chance Saloon Atom Feed. Labels: Last Chance Saloon.
