Some Design Studio and Other Resources
Posted: November 18, 2010 Filed under: book club, Design, Interaction Design, Uncategorized Leave a comment »After the meeting on Wednesday, several people expressed more interest in how the time-honored design studio method is being used in UX design. Here are some thoughts and references:
Design Studio
The design studio concept is discussed in Todd Zaki Warfel’s book Prototyping: A Practitioner’s Guide (use code MOJOGUZZI for 25% off this & any other RM book)
Also, take a look at Todd’s right way to wireframe video (and design studio starts at 1:06 and goes through 1:39). In fact, here are all four RWTW videos.
Here are some slides from his Web 2.0 presentation.
Lane Halley has detailed this concept in this presentation.
Another interesting approach is here.
