WHAT IS DESIGN?
A SOLUTION …that solves the problem in a clean elegant

LET’S MEET 2 GREAT DESIGNERS OF OUR TIMES
Dieter Rams Designer in Chief, BRAUN

Sir Jonathan Ive SVP Industrial Design, Apple Inc.

THIS IS INDUSTRIAL DESIGN OR PRODUCT DESIGN
ALL OF THESE APPLY TO DIGITAL DESIGN AS WELL
WE CALL IT UX DESIGN
USEFUL PRODUCT Has a functionality that solves a complex problem.
USABLE PRODUCT Has a functionality that solves a complex problem
with a simple solution & works naturally as any human would expect it.
DELIGHTFUL PRODUCT Goes beyond solving a complex problem in a
simplistic manner while making the experience enjoyable for the user.
WHAT IS USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN?
UX is not about Jargons
UX is not meetings
“If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have
said a faster horse” UX is not whatever user wants!
“…people don’t know what they want until you show it
to them.” UX is not what you think user wants!
Design is definitely not making it ‘look’ pretty!
UX is not a mystery
UX is Science
COULD GO VERY WRONG IF THE RIGHT PEOPLE DON’T DO
IT UX is about fixing the damn problem
LET’S SEE HOW TO GET THERE By checking out examples
around us
Information presentation is challenge usually ignored.
Good Information Architecture adds Clarity

Everything can be designed
Skuemorphic Design is nice
Reduce design ‘noise’
You can be professional and have a good design as
well!
Why does it have to be this ugly?
They set the bar high for all financial applications
Notice the skuemorphic design adapted for a tablet device
Design for the context
Overdoing skuemorphic design is not good either
End of User or End of UX?
Do NOT Harass the User in the name of Security
Make boring stuff ‘really’ fun and interesting!
Leaving the Design to the User is bad idea!
What time is it? Bad Time!
Designed to let users make mistakes
It’s that *extra that makes the difference!
The little *extra that makes your consumer come back… source:

UX Happens… UX Happens…
…Whether you design it or not!
It’s only a matter of time before someone better comes
and kicks your ass!
