I’m not aware of a resource that collects this learning and inspiration into one place so I’ve decided to try and collect it here. The idea is [...]

The following quote from Jean Cocteau is never far from mind and I’m always looking for ways to apply it to other disciplines or practices that can seem even slightly inaccessible or over complicated: Film will only became an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper Adapted for wireframing: Wireframing will [...]

What the hell is a UX?

What the hell is a UX? I’m increasingly coming into contact with people who refer (with the nonchalant ease of those that rarely question their convictions) to interaction designers, information architects, experience architects &etc (there is plenty of froth already here) with the word/abbreviation/label (delete as you think appropriate) “UX” What on earth do they [...]

Sketchedelity

The reasoning behind getting Eva-Lotta to present her excellent Sketchnotes mini workshop at last week’s London IA event at The Sense Loft was the hope that the influence of the presentation would permeate further through the London UX design community (and beyond).

UXCampLondon 1.5 – some video

Eventually I have (roughly) edited the video I took at UXCampLondon 1.5 on the 17 April. It’s pretty jumbled together and sentences get cut off and some of it isn’t perfect sound quality (and some of it is a bit dark), but hey ho PS There is quite a bit of an interesting chat about [...]

Schooloscope

REVIEW Schooloscope is a really nice idea brought together by some very clever people but misses one extremely relevant fact – that school reports rarely provide accurate information, beyond interpretations of official data, about what a school is really like for children to attend.

UXCampLondon 1.5

Apart from being one of the organisers (though I have to admit a level of back-seatness) I took (plenty) of photos on the day – trying to get footage of every presentation: You can trawl through the whole set on Flickr here I planned to present but took photos instead.
