Die Weimarer Erklärung zu Universal Design

logo
Vom 12. bis zum 14.11. fand in Weimar die universal design Expertenkonferenz statt. Dort wurde die “Weimarer Erklärung” verfasst, die in zwölf Thesen das Thema Universal Design definiert und umreisst:

universal design rückt den Menschen ins Zentrum.
universal design ist nicht nur ein Designthema.
universal design ist eine interdisziplinäre Aufgabe.
universal design öffnet sich allen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern.
universal design schafft Service-Systeme.
universal design ist ein Prozess, keine Norm.
universal design schafft soziale Inklusion.
universal design stellt sich Zukunftsfragen.
universal design ist Haltung und Verantwortung.
universal design muss früh und kontinuierlich in der Bildung verankert werden.
universal design hat die Aufgabe, Politik und Wirtschaft aufzuklären.
universal design sichert und fördert wirtschaftliches Wachstum.

Zwei Zitate der Erklärung haben mir besonders gut gefallen.

Lesenswertes vom 15.12.2009 – Über Wireframes

  • Web Analytics influencing Wireframes and Information Architecture | Extra! Extra!
    "Data and insight derived from web analytics should be a key driving force in the creation of wireframes, information architecture, and usability testing.  The following is a partial list of bits of data that help User Experience experts make informed decisions, when creating the layout for a new site that will more effectively achieve the intended goals."
  • Sketchy Wireframes | Boxes and Arrows
    "The problem here is that traditional computer wireframing tools [...] lay out drawings as hard-lined boxes, lines and fonts. As a result, wireframes look the same regardless of which stage of completion the wireframe is representing. Early-stage, conceptual wireframes look identical to late-stage, functional specifications."
  • Where Wireframes Are Concerned | UX Magazine
    "Wireframes can be useful, valuable artifacts for informing the designer's process. But they often fail miserably as a first-step deliverable for clients."
  • A Collection of Useful Web Design Wireframing Resources | Speckyboy Design Magazine
    "There are templates for, possibly every browser in every size, there are form and button templates for all browsers and a hell of a lot more."
