Hi Jerome, You might want to check out Gliffy - http://www.gliffy.com/ - another on-line diagramming tool. I used it in the past briefly and my only real complaint for basic diagramming was the lack of off-line support, which caused me to move to OmniGraffle. They offer a free and a reasonably priced premium service based on the number of users, but the free version may in-fact meet your needs.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] low cost wireframing/diagramming solution?
If you're only doing things now and again then there are other applications you can use at a pinch. For example Powerpoint can be used to create wireframes. I've yet to find a online tool that is offers much more than you can do in powerpoint. Usual tools are Omingraffle and Visio, they more or less do the same thing. I'm currently dabbling with Flash Catalyst but it has a few holes at the moment in the Beta but is available free for the time being.

[IxDA Discuss] Setting up local group in Birmingham, UK
Hello. I have taken the first step of starting a local group in Birmingham, UK. I am now looking for IxDA folk in the local area who will be interested in helping me get this up and running. I will be looking to represent the Midlands as this is the only local group in the area. I would like to hear from local leaders from other areas to hear how you grew your local area. What challenges did you face? What has worked well? What has not worked so well? I would especially like to hear from the local leaders in the UK and liaise with you. Over the coming weeks I will be making contact with friends who work for digital agencies in the locale to see if they, or colleagues firstly know about the list and if they wish to join the organisation and the local meet-ups.

Currently working on a suite of web-apps (CMS, CRM, task- and project-management etc). The UI is in large part going to be white-labeled by the various clients and consequently the little graphics that are going to be universally present will in large part set the visual tone of the apps. I've been searching the good ol' interweb for the above-mentioned resources, but was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations for talented icon designers suited for this kind of work?

If you are looking only at wireframing, you can also look at Balasmiq Mockup. You will need to buy a paid version in order to save any drawing, but it is simple and easy to use, and also gives the feel of paper prototype.

[IxDA Discuss] Music to Design to - What gets your creative juices flowing?
Its over a year since the last post like this... Music is important to me when designing as it helps inspire, keeps me creative and helps me stay in the zone. Personally I find more ambient music more effective as catchy tunes can often find you singing along or breaking into a guitar riff mid design. Good design music can also be project dependent as it can set the scene or create a mood and you might need an upbeat set of tunes for one and a more obscure set of tunes for something more abstract. - Kid Loco - Sigur Rós - Herbaliser - The Avalanches - St Germain - M83 - Beta Band - Kruder Dorfmeister - John Williams / Hans Zimmer music Scores So whether I am designing or coding a website, struggling with that initial logo concept or just trying to get your head outside of that box music always helps... so any suggestions are welcome!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Music to Design to - What gets your creative juices flowing?
Even though I'm now 50, I seem to NEED Metallica's Black Album to code to when starting any new project. It seems to get me in the mood for lots of fiddly tags, CSS IDs and controls! ;-) I must admit, however that after over 10 years of Metallica I can now almost do the same with White Zombie! I think it is just the noise that blanks everything out around me. Works well in the office or late at night. Better than coffee! Once I'm going, though the music I listen to will depend on the job. I've had good results with Ska, Reggae and even went through a time when it had to be BritPop, but thankfully that phase has passed and after seeing the movie The Boat that Rocked, I'm back onto 60s and 70s music by the Kinks, the Hollies and the Easybeats!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Best practices for Country location and languages on Global Websites (was Language Picker)
Always ALWAYS do for the user what you can do for them. I wouldn't say always DO, i'd rather say always give the flexibility to CHOOSE, because we never know exactly what all users want or need. Gregor, I totally agree with you. Google search is my top of mind example for this kind of behavior - always send me to Brazil's sites even though I didn't start my search at .com.br Facebook and Youtube ask me (although they ask me every log-in!) if I want to migrate to portuguese version of its sites... In the other hand, if I always translate some words from portuguese to english, couldn't Google Translate always offers me that option right in the first position, as default? This would be still flexibility to choose, but with some intelligence behind it. Regards, Sofia Ferrés Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

[IxDA Discuss] Evaluating off-the-shelf products
Has anybody on the list had any experience of evaluating off-the-shelf products for usability and quality of user experience. I'm working with a company whose philosophy is to, where possible, buy a product rather than build. The evaluation of such products is based on supporting business processes and conforming to technology infrastructure (and, of course, cost). They are now seeing the need to include UX in the evaluation process but are not sure how. I've done a bit of work with them on techniques for gathering user research and how that data informs an iterative design process. However, 'user centered procurement' is not something I have real experience with. I have recommended expert reviews and usability exercises during the evaluation phase, but this isn't neccesary viable at the early stages when there are a large number for products. Is there a standard set of questions for vendors? Is anyone aware of any good books/papers on a methodology around this subject? Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Palm Pre
I think for the Pre it is going to be about growing apps in the app store and showing how much more you can do with it than the iPhone. I know I'm harping on the background processing thing but it is so key to being able to do anything cool. The iPhone can't notice something around you that you're interested and tell you about it, it can't notify someone else something about your status that it knows -- it basically can't do much that is smart on its own. Everything involves the user having to do something which is really limiting. I think that once the apps for the Pre are unleashed that harness the power of backgroundprocessing and multi-threading, that device is going to be incredibly appealing.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Palm Pre
For me, something that would make a device 'stand out from the crowd' would be a decent battery life, even if it meant a little more weight. I've had the original (2G) iPhone for around 18 months or so now and my biggest gripe is the poor battery life. Even on a good day I would be lucky to get close to 2 days usage between charges (no wifi, no email and 2-3 hours iPod per day). At the moment the battery life is barely 24 hours, so I'm looking to upgrade to a newer mobile. My choices are either the Pre or the LG Arena, but the biggest deciding factor will be the battery life and I'll happily pay extra if needed for better performance... -Karl . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Music to Design to - What gets your creative juices flowing?
I _wish_ I could listen to music while working. Every single possible type of music ends up distracting my attention so much it might as well be fingernails on a chalkboard. I'm not sure why that is .. I've heard of a few other people having the same problem, but I think it's more rare than common. I can't listen to anything while working it has to be as silent as possible. Then, I get into a 'zone'.. tilt my head a little to the right (don't ask me why this happens as I can't explain it) and have at it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Music to Design to - What gets your creative juices flowing?
Nothing gets my blood flowing like fast and loud punk/pop-punk. Here are some of my favorite songs: Saves the Day - Shoulder to the Wheel Allister - Somewhere Down on Fullerton Strung Out - Paperwalls Blink 182 - Touchdown Boy Pennywise - Surfin' USA Ramones - Judy is a Punk After that initial burst of energy I like more downtempo electronic stuff such as Goldfrapp, Daft Punk, Air, and Zero 7. Here's my 'Fast' playlist on imeem: http://www.imeem.com/people/b0NTYKS/playlist/imI1vakB/fast-music-playlist/ Here's my 'Spy' playlist (more downtempo): http://www.imeem.com/people/b0NTYKS/playlist/GXvm-DDX/spy-music-playlist/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Any latest Radio Button interactions with accordion combined??
Hi Folks, I have a design dilemma and wanted to get thoughts from folks here: The challenge is that I have 2 radio button and one of the button when selected has a list that drops down and it is a mini datatable with 2 columns and a dropdown. This would be okay if the number of rows remained constant but it changes all the time and can be very long for a drop down and almost feels like some optical illusion happened. Any ideas on what is the best/optimal way to address this issue? Thanks, Nancy Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] examples of practical research Ph.D programmes
Hi Natasha, I'm presently enrolled in a Ph.D program at the Umeå Institute of Design with a focus on Interaction Design. The program is meant to be practice-based, with real design research projects in collaboration with companies and/or external collaborators. There is also a young initiative (started in December 2007) here in Sweden called Center for Research in Design. It consists of a nationwide group of students and supervisors who are undertaking Ph.D studies in Design. We have discussed, explored and debated internally many issues about what can be referred to practical research or practice-based Ph.D studies Some basic about the group. It is only in Swedish as of now: http://www.kth.se/itm/centra/designfakulteten with Google's Transalate it's not so bad: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hphl=enjs=nu=http://www.kth.se/itm/centra/designfakulteten/om_designfakulteten/1.20486sl=svtl=enhistory_state0= We have regular meetings every second month.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Music to Design to - What gets your creative juices flowing?
yeah.. I connect with music so intensely that, I have a hard time focusing on anything but the music if the source is in close proximity, and the task at hand is cerebral in nature (i.e., driving, physical labor, and music-specific endeavors excluded). Actually, I'm able to have Brian Eno's Ambient One: Music for Airports going... but that's about it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In addition to all the other answers, you can try the openoffice.org draw application (requires a download of the whole suite, but it costs nothing). It has a reasonable diagram function which I've used in the past. There's no reason it couldn't be used for wireframing too. http://openoffice.org and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Draw_Guide/Drawing_a_flow_diagram . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Reminder: Silicon Valley IxDA Event :: Practicing Innovation Through Innovation Workshops :: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 :: at Yahoo!
Please join us Wednesday at this Silicon Valley IxDA event! Jim Nieters of Yahoo! will speak about Practicing Innovation Through Innovation Workshops. When: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 Socializing: 7:00-7:30 pm Program: 7:30-9:30 pm Where: Yahoo! Sunnyvale Campus Building C, Classroom 5 701 First Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94089 Practicing Innovation Through Innovation Workshops Jim Nieters As user experience (UX) researchers and designers, we want to design products that change the world—to engage in strategic design. Often, though, UX researchers and designers get stuck with incrementalism: Designing minor, new features for which another functional group has provided the requirements, expecting UX to design it—whether the UX team agrees with the product direction or not. Perhaps we find ourselves immersed in work routines that do not provide us space to think differently. In this talk, Jim Nieters presents some tools that foster innovation and can help you get multidisciplinary teams aligned with your big ideas. First, Jim will talk about ten general principles that foster innovation. Then, he'll focus on one particular method: innovation workshops. Jim will help you understand how to lead innovation workshops—within your companies, design firms, or universities—that foster collaboration, trust, and free expression. These workshops enable intensive brainstorming, purposeful play, design, usability testing, and rapid iteration. Bio: Jim Nieters is Director of User Experience Design for online advertiser products at Yahoo!, including search marketing and the open ad management platform, APT from Yahoo! (apt.yahoo.com). In this role, he works to ensure the user experience is a strategic differentiator for the business. Jim conducts innovation workshops at Yahoo! and teaches members of the UX community at Yahoo! how to conduct innovation workshops, which they call Yahoo! Design Labs (YoDeLs). Before moving to Yahoo!, Jim built and led the central UED group at Cisco and turned it into an internal consultancy that tracked over $200 million in revenue increases each year based on innovation and design. He has been a UX design practitioner for more than 15 years and a UX leader for nine of those years. Jim specializes in UX organizational leadership, process enhancement, and organizational transformation. He writes a regular column on leading UX teams for UXmatters (www.uxmatters.com), Management Matters, and speaks frequently at conferences and universities on innovation and leading UX organizations. Jim particularly enjoys being part of teams that think big and deliver innovations that change market dynamics.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Music to Design to - What gets your creative juices flowing?
Its over a year since the last post like this... http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=39321 ;-) My choice depends upon the work. For coding complicated stuff or really working on interaction, then silence is best for me. Rock music does the job when I want some ideas (paper prototypes / loose concepts), classical (esp Bach) for putting things together (wireframing), stuff like Sylvian or later Talk Talk / Mark Hollis for artistic stuffs (high fidelity prototypes). I sense a kind of progression here... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
