This was what Hollywood was about.
I was re-watchting Howard Hawks' Monkey Business last weekend. An inconspicuous Marylin Monroe - although the whole flick is sold with her eye-catching cover these days. And was probably sold back in 1952: "Half infant - not the half that's visible." With an amazing Ginger Rogers - never realized she was that funny. And with Gary Grant - guarantor for quality and trust.
Stories govern all of our actions. This story is 59 years old. Still valid. "Narratives guide behavior in every moment, frame how we see the past, and frame how we see ourselves in the future." View the presentation!

]]> 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?

December saw an update of my Information Architecture 3 presentation on SlideShare. Asking what is apparent from the category labeling of this blog for quite some time now: Is it only Information Architecture we are persuing? Is it Interaction Design?

]]>Studying Willem Boijens' talk and presentation at Mobile Monday Amsterdam I come to the conclusion that impermanence is an evolution of "developing a portfolio of services based on the construct of people, content, place, and time" ...
]]> ... in two words: Vodafone 360. Connected experiences. "Impermance is not new."Learn from patterns in history.
The history: Making of 360 by Willem Boijens and German Leon as presented at Barcelona Design Week 2009 - view the slides above. I'm the center of my address book, all the people I know. Moving in time and space. Connecting. Collecting content.
The evolution: "Everything around us underlies a permanent change, everything is in a constant motion, in a flux - spatially, timely, emotional, and cultural."
According to Willem, in our classical mental model we create solid anchor-points for ourselves to move through the day: A synched address book on our devices for people we know, a synched calendar for our time we use and places we visit. A file system or cloud storage for our content we collect. A bookshelf for our books. A locker for our belongings. An apartment for our furniture.
Turn that model upside down and mesh, morph, and swarm!
Mesh: Your personal cell phone no longer moves within a fixed grid but the entirety of receiving and transmitting phones represents a network in flux. Think producing and consuming energy with solar paint. Think infrastructure in mature versus emerging markets - an infrastructure building itself?
Morph: The design process no longer stops with production. Objects are self-configuring in different situations. Think apartments re-furnishing themselves according to my needs.
Swarm: A pattern is developed that regulates itself with no pre-occupied structure applied to it. Think roads with dynamic lanes.
Interesting! I'm curious how the next Vodafone 360 NOW+ will look like. View the presentation!
