Here’s a brief (seven minutes) description of the workshop XPLANE founder Dave Gray will be giving at UI15 in November: Visual Thinking for User Experience.
It’s a new workshop on effectively communicating design ideas. Wireframes don’t help us with the Why, only the What of our designs. Dave’s simple sketching techniques are powerful tools for communicating your design’s rationale. You’ll learn solid strategies for visualizing your ideas, which will help you identify issues while creating great new experiences. (Psssst! If you register for the conference using the promotion code “GRAY” you will save 400 bucks on the conference — or 50 bucks on any one day!)
And if you’re in Philly for IDEA, don’t miss today’s conference kick-off with Dave and his Gamestorming co-authors James Macanufo and Sunni Brown. They’ll be talking with Peter Morville and sharing insights from their new book — discussing how Gamestorming can address the cross-media challenges of ubiquitous information architecture.
After the panel conversation, they’ll facilitate break-out sessions in which participants will work together using methods like sketching and bodystorming to explore ideas for visualizing and mapping complex, blended (offline/online) products and services.
