“Esteemed graphic designer Michael Bierut will speak at our User Experience Week 2006. Michael is a partner at the design firm Pentagram, and a former president of the AIGA. Though we at Adaptive Path love him for his impassioned contributions to the Design Observer blog. To help us set the stage for his talk, he agreed to join me in a conversation. I will post the discussion in parts. I encourage readers to pose questions for Michael in the comments section.”

“Lightroom is Adobe’s breakthrough photo management application. Currently in public beta, Lightroom is designed specifically for serious photographers who want to quickly organize, process, and output their images in a powerful, friendly environment… Here at Inside Lightroom you’ll learn how to quickly master this application with the help of downloadable tutorials, podcasts, and weblog posts. Soon you’ll find that you’re focusing more on taking pictures rather than endlessly wrangling with them on your computer.”

“Affordance is one of the more important elements of design; one closely tied to usability. In fact, without proper affordances the rest of the design doesn’t matter — it will simply fail, partially or entirely. An affordance is a property of an object or environment that indicates how it can or should be used.”
