]]>Rachel Hinman presented at Silicon Valley IxDA what she already had shown earlier at UX Australia 2010: Mobile UX Essentials. Essential!
]]> Rachel is a researcher and UX designer at the Nokia Research Center in Palo Alto, CA. In her own words: "Recent innovations are causing an inflection point in the mobile UX landscape, providing the opportunity to invent new and more human ways for people to interact with information. But where do designers who are steeped in the static desktop-computing paradigm begin? The purpose of this talk is to help UX designers and other UX professionals answer that very question. I'll share the three most important mobile design principles to consider when creating a mobile user experience, some mobile design exercises, and mobile prototyping tips." ... in 159 slides!Step One: Know the medium you're designing for.
Step Two: Participate in the culture you are designing for.
Step Three: Embrace the chaos.
Great mobile experiences: (1) are uniquely mobile, (2) are sympathetic to context, and (3) speak their power. So, where do we begin?
