Conchango’s Richard Griffin recently blogged about the Microsoft Expression Newsletter. This seems to be an interesting resource for UX professionals. A few articles that caught my eye:
Whitney Hess wrote a nice article about what UX is not. Have a peek at http://mashable.com/2009/01/09/user-experience-design/.
A very interesting documentary is due out in March. From the author:
“Objectified is a documentary about industrial design; it’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them. On an average day, each of us uses hundreds of objects. (Don’t believe it? Start counting: alarm clock, light switch, faucet, shampoo bottle, toothbrush, razor…) Who makes all these things, and why do they look and feel the way they do? All of these objects are “designed,” but how can good design make them, and our lives, better?
One reason that I’m delving into the world of objects in this film is that I, admittedly, am obsessed by them. Why do I salivate over a shiny new piece of technology, or obsess over a 50-year-old plywood chair? What does all the stuff I accumulate say about me, and do I really need any of it in the first place?”
