Over the last few months I’ve done a bit of speaking and I’m just now getting caught up enough to post the notes, examples and slides from those talks. I’m really sorry for the delay!
SXSW and Design Eye For SXSWi
First up I’ll point you in the direction of the Design Eye site where you can find all the slides, examples and collateral done for this year’s version of the popular Design Eye series. If you do a bit of digging there you can learn about previous Design Eye sessions there as well. I’ve been involved in every one of them, and they’ve been fun and challenging (and hopefully entertaining and useful) projects over the years.
SXSW was a great time this year and I’m hoping that people got some good stuff out of that talk.
UIE Web App Summit
A few weeks ago I had the amazing honor to speak at UIE’s Web App Summit. My talk was about communicating design and the deliverables we create in order to do that. It was a challenging presentation for me to give, on several levels, but the feedback so far has been generally good and it seems like quite a few people got some good stuff out of it.
As promised I’m going to post some examples, articles and resources related to the talk as well as my slides. If any more media (podcasts, etc.) becomes publicly available I’ll also post that here.
So, have you gotten anywhere with convincing the SXSW crew to actually implement the design eye design? They should, because its great, and, as mentioned in the panel, way better than what they have right now.
Oh, and I think the header is just right, ehem.
Do you enjoy presenting?
@Brian - We didn’t really try to get them to use the design, we never really do that. It’s not really the point, although, I imagine if someone wanted to we’d be ok with it.
@Zach - For the most part, yes. :)
I think I was sitting next to Brian during the Design Eye presentation. A little hung over but this is actually one of my favorite presentations each year. I seem to remember that the team put more emphasis on the development process previously though.. Do I remember right or must I blame the ‘networking’ that happened the night before?
@Ove - No, you’ve got the right of it. This time we wanted to take the focus a bit off the process a bit. Some people liked that, lots didn’t. I can see the benefits of both approaches to a preso, we just felt it would be interesting, fun and hopefully educational to try something a bit different.
