Why have a design pattern library? | dezining interactions
"At some point or another in a company’s lifecycle the interaction design team may find themselves seriously outnumbered. […] Whatever the issue, it’s usually at this point that someone on the team will think about an interaction design pattern library.

"The following article is an abridged version of Chapter 7 of Nathan Curtis’s 2009 book, Modular Web Design published by New Riders."
The power of patterns: Bridging IA, design and development | non-linear thinking
"Patterns are infinitely useful to interaction designers and programmers thanks to their reusability and the implicit knowledge sharing of tried-and-true solutions. Where they really become valuable though is in the sweet spot where they are paired with stencils and code."

iPad anno 1994

Lennart — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 09:50:36 +0000

In diesem Film wird das Konzept einer digitalen Zeitung auf einem “tragbaren Screen” vorgestellt (so ab Minute 2:20).

Wenig überraschend ist, wie die Zeitung funktioniert – da ist man dem iPad recht nahe gekommen. (Mit Ausnahme der Stift-Interaktion, man konnte sich wohl noch nicht vorstellen, dass es irgendwann Touch-Screens geben wird).

Spannender ist, dass die radikale Veränderung, den die Digitalisierung mit sich bringt, komplett unterschätzt wurde. So sagt einer der Beteiligten in dem Film:

Many of the technologists…..assume that information is just a commodity and people really don’t care where that information comes from as long as it matches their set of personal interests. I disagree with that view. People recognize the newspapers they subscribe to…..and there is a loyalty attached to those.

Denn das ist der Stand heute.

Meine Folien über Design-Prinzipien

Lennart — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:49:31 +0000

…hieß mein Vortrag, den ich auf der German UPA Summer School gehalten habe.

In dem Vortrag stelle ich verschiedene Prinzipien vor, beschreibe wie man zu konkreten Design-Prinzipien kommt und welche Vorteile sie bieten.

Hier sind meine Folien…

Haben Interaktionsdesigner (einen eigenen) Stil?

Lennart — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 15:34:11 +0000

“Perhaps instead of individual styles, interaction designers have a collective style. Perhaps interaction designers are the anonymous craftsmen, the Shaker furniture makers of the digital era. Individual style in interaction design would only ensure users of a quality interaction, after all, and most people can already tell a good interaction from a bad one [...]. Many people can probably also tell great interaction design from good. And perhaps that’s enough.”

Patterns, Components, and Code, Oh My!

Allein schon wegen des Wortwitzes ist die Präsentation das Verlinken wert. Aber auch sonst lohnt es sich einen Blick in die Präse zu werfen.

Die Präsentation könnt ihr bei slideshare als .pdf herunterladen.

Darf ich mal an ihrem Display ziehen?

Lennart — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 07:17:14 +0000

This is the result of TAT’s Open Innovation experiment. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few.

Ignoriert man das ausziehbare Display, was mich übrigens sehr an Stargate erinnert, sind die gezeigten Ideen ganz nett.

Wann nehme ich welches Werkzeug?

Lennart — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:54:14 +0000

Diese Frage versucht Daniel Ritzenthaler in seinem Artikel zu beantworten. Er beschreibt, wann und wofür sich Skizzen, Wireframes, Mock-ups und HTML Prototypen eignen.

One designer will claim that you shouldn’t do anything without sketching it out while another claims that doing anything less than full-on HTML prototypes is a waste of time. All of these tools have a special purpose so there’s no point in discussing which one is better. That would be a lot like an electrician saying his wire-cutters are better than the plumber’s pipe-cutters. Within the context of cutting wires it makes sense, but everywhere else it’s just silly.[...]

This piece is about bringing clarity to this discussion. It will help you decide which tool to use without worrying what other designers are arguing about.

Hirngespinster, ein Motion Book

Lennart — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 05:01:51 +0000

Asking myself how to get into someones head visually, without loosing the connection to the real life, I finally came up with an interactive concept which transfers the real event into a book, and let the fantasy grow out of it animated.

Prototyping im Detail

Lennart — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 05:01:53 +0000

…erklärt uns Odette Colyer in ihrem Artikel Create the Perfect Prototype.

It’s much cheaper to change a website early on in the development process than it is to make changes later on. Building prototypes – draft versions of your website – is a good way of nipping problems in the bud and getting things right first time around. [...]

Your end prototype should be a fairly refined and testable representation of the product. There are several techniques you can use to reach this point, which again will be project-dependent.

Der Artikel lohnt sich, auch wenn die Gute hauptsächlich über Webseiten spricht.

Toshiba versucht, was Microsoft sich nicht traut

Lennart — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:01:25 +0000

…und zwar ein Dual Touchscreen Netbook auf den Markt zu bringen.

So wird dem Courier Konzept von Microsoft doch noch Leben eingehaucht.
Großartig.
