Diagrams, Maps and Models

Dan Ramsden

4 h. tutorial
Drawing a diagram of a system or information architecture is one of the most important skills an IA can develop. Whether you’re describing a structure, explaining a domain or following the path of an experience, being able to visually represent the otherwise abstract end of UX design brings value to projects and coherence to teams.

Drawing a diagram of a system or information architecture is one of the most important skills an IA can develop. Whether you’re describing a structure, explaining a domain or following the path of an experience, being able to visually represent the otherwise abstract end of UX design brings value to projects and coherence to teams.

In this workshop three members of the user experience architecture team at the BBC will help you explore ways of drawing systems, structures and experience and contexts.

You will: Learn and share the best ways to represent structures and systems Explore the difference between describing structures and the experiences that contain them Gets tips on the tools, techniques and process to visually represent relationships and systems Learn tools and techniques to map project contexts as well as information architecture Discover ways of predicting and describing the future

In the workshop we’ll explore a range of techniques. Each participant get the chance to explore their own project from multiple perspectives - we'll map stakeholders, domains, constraints, experiences and anything else that ultimately impacts the user experience and our ability to influence it.

Giving Voice To Your Voice Designs
Cheryl Platz
Designing for voice interaction can be an intimidating concept for a generation of designers trained primarily in visual principles and patterns. But there’s a greater need for voice designers than there are folks experienced in voice design. How do you know whether a leap into this emerging specialty may be just the right thing for your career?

Rapid Cross-channel Prototyping
Andrea Resmini
This is an intermediate-to-advanced workshop that contains little exposition and lots of perspiration: you’ll sketch and diagram your way through a real-world case prepped up to challenge and inspire you, teach you how to reframe traditional design requirements for complex problems, work your way through ecosystems, and produce meaningful artifact-level deliverables.
Design Slam
Design Slam
Eric Reiss​, and more!
​The Slam is a high-powered, 4 hour brainstorming competition. We give participants a problem to solve and business goals to address, forcing them to think beyond ordinary constraints. They leverage hard and soft business skills in a team effort to solve the unsolvable, and a prize is awarded at the end.
