I would love to see the comparison study of the design reviews of
people who only saw FB after the new design implementation vs. those
who migrated from the older version. Folks earlier in the thread
might have it right, change is what makes everyone else more negative
toward the new design.
Jarod, thanks for making the point about a sustainable business model.
And also for the stats on user traffic.
I'd love to see the study of how people react to the design in
regards to existing users migrating from the old version vs. the
users who have just recently signed up after the new
apps having this same
functionality for web links or pages within a site, but I'm blanking
on them at the moment.
Cheers!

Hi Scott,
I can't tell how intrinsically tied-together the banner image and
the 4 content boxes will be, but if they are as segregated as those
on the Apple home page, I would believe that changing the page's
theme upon refresh will be disconcerting.
Perhaps keeping the text/color in those 4
There are haptic touchscreens in development, such as the Samsung
Anycall. I agree it's nice to have some haptic components to an
interface, but touchscreens allow for so much more adaptability than
having to use a pre-defined set of buttons on a keyboard as a crutch.
I would love a touchscreen
Ah, yes...too true. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the Interaction Design Association
I love that a simple strip like this--even if at the surface is
deliberately making a jab at design--illustrates the daily
struggle/compromise between 2 or more parties.
Sometimes Dilbert cartoons don't strike the right cord with me, but
we just had a conversation between our visual designers
Further complicating things our workplace are our titles, such as
interacTIVE designers--the ones who do the visual interface
design--and interacTION designers, who do more of the IA work,
testing, etc.
Ah, the need for buckets to put people into...

Personally, I've learned to live with it, mostly by virtue of
right-click menus (some increased functionality in Office 2007 Word
and PPT, which I have to use for the occasional company presentation,
is what encouraged me to upgrade in the first place).
Certainly adoption should not be based on

it on a tray that is slightly higher than my keyboard, so that I can
swing it over the right-side number keys (since I don't use those).

Great, hopefully it works for you! Here's a model close to what I

I had to do some mickey-mousing to get it to work the way I like, but
most of it was already built-in.

I love it! It may break some rules, but it's meant for some
nonsensical fun, and so it's nicely built for messing around. And
it's one of the few instances where I kept the sound on!

Yes, I would also love to hear more on this--I'm in a more
junior/moderate role and, while I'm working on my career path with
my manager, want more insight on whether we're making the right or
standard choices.

Welcome to
Thanks for the info! I will be looking forward to watching the
recording of it tonight. Did they bring in a device to demonstrate?

Yes, agree with Geof (also am on the Visual UX design end). If there
will be ongoing visual design needs for multiple projects, it might
be best to have someone in-house, whether contract or not, who can be
in-sync with your team. Not only does that help cut down on
unnecessary design/review
I also stick with a design/ease-of use comment:
I create the visual experience of websites and software
applications
And, of course, I augment around this basic comment depending on the
person asking (ie business acquaintance vs. my mom).
But yes, user experience/interaction design is still a

Paul--Great input on this.
I'm in the process of creating a set of updated design guidelines
myself, and I do agree especially about setting a specific schedule
for revisions.
We did an informal internal survey of how people like interacting
with our design guidelines, and the biggest
Regnard--Totally agree that it does depend on the situation. I just
happen to be in a company right now where the high-level stakeholders
just don't want to see sketches. Much to my chagrin, of course ;)
That said, within my team (which is beyond just a design staff) we do
a bunch of sketching
