SECOND ANNUAL INTERACTION DESIGN STUDIO You are invited to join the New York IxDA community for a hands-on, interactive design studio evening.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RSVP: See special instructions below - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Last fall we launched our very first Studio event, which was a lot of fun and gave us a chance to practice design together, sharing our experience as a diverse group. (More about last year's event here: http://tinyurl.com/3362rx) The second annual IxD Studio will be a similar format: a one-hour design exercise addressed from within small breakout groups, followed by a constructive group critique led by Liya Zheng and Jeanine Harriman. The exercise has been designed to help you explore: -- The design of information in a ubiquitous medium -- The intersections of the UX disciplines we know as Information Architecture, Interaction Design, and Service Design Through participation in this studio, you will: -- Refine your current design techniques and gain exposure to new ones -- Understand the thinking behind the various concepts presented by the rest of the group, identifying opportunities and directions to further your own designs -- Gain insights into how to build a constructive studio environment to support your work; where critiques may be used to advance design concepts and practices. Because of the collaborative nature of this workshop we encourage participants with a wide variety of background and skill levels; a diverse group maximizes the potential for participants to learn from each other.
