Interactive Empathy as a Design Concern

Considering how interactions flow - whether in-person or in an app/web system with empathy as a focal concern.

Thoughtful+Entertaining+Cartoon Illustration = Awesome Mobile UX Presentation

Presented by Brad Colbow at last week’s M3 conference. Paging through this deck is rather entertaining - would have loved to have seen Brad present this live. I couldn’t agree with the core thesis more: to provide a good user experience, first you have to care.

We’ve produced over 25 hours of video (making comics, visual arts, storytelling, character design, creative learning, UI design, game design) for #30Classes in 30 Days at Lean Into Art. So far so good! 11 more classes to go, I wonder if we’ll reach 40 hours? You can still join us!

UI and UX Commentary - Google+ Create-a-Page Final Step

While using Google+ to setup a brand page for Lean Into Art - I noticed an interesting situation. The “finish/complete” screen tells me two things at once. First I see a message that I should know that I’m now using Google+ as a “page” user. Second, I see another message that I can announce my Google+ page - as my main user. A bit of conflict in those messages - which to me means it’s worth considering a way to de-emphasize one of those messages or present them in sequence. 
An option to present them in sequence: 
  1. First announce as you. Present a form that allows the user to say “look at this awesome page I made”.
  2. Then offer the options to continue as either you or the page: no identity context ambiguity.
To de-emphasize one message - perhaps present them side by side in a two-column layout to imply a time progression. On the left “announce your page as you”, on the right “continue to google+ as your new page user”.
