Hi all, Over the past few years as a web designer Ive noticed a lack of education specific to people like me.
I wrote an article on the subject, and I implore you to read it. http://jasonrobb.com/2009/06/18/education-for-a-team-of-none/ In my article, I use an example of building robust personas. I recently saw Jared Spool present on the topic. He did an awesome job. But I walked away with a familiar, looming question: "Can robust personas be built by a single designer, with limited time and resources?" It's not limited to personas. My argument is the same for design patterns, mental models, usability testing, and so on. The examples I'm seeing are always from the point of view of someone with plenty of resources. That's not always the case. It's not in mine. And I'm sure I'm not alone. There isn't enough mindshare between solo designers in our industry. I'd like to raise awareness and get people talking about their processes. If you are a solo designer without a team of experts, I hope you'll start talking about your design processes and sharing with the rest of the community. Thank you so much for your time. I greatly appreciate it! Cheers, Jason R. -- Jason Robb [email protected] http://jasonrobb.com http://uxboston.com http://uiscraps.tumblr.com
