UX Sheffield: Design Systems, Not just Sketch files – by Iannish Posooa from what3words

Our first UX Sheffield event 2020 features Iannish Posooa who is a Senior Product Designer at what3words. His talk will cover:

What's a design system: We will cover a brief history and benefits of design systems. We will also frame it in today's context by linking design language and technical flexibility.

Choose the right framework: This is actually 30% of the job as the users, workflow and tools you use will dramatically affect the end outcome.

Building it: Most design systems are made from an atomic structure of Principles > Styles > Components > Patterns and here's why.

Sharing your design system: How do you make what you have created as accessible as possible Internally and externally.

UX and Design Research horror stories by Mila Kayukala

Have you ever been in a research project situation when you are stuck with the only thought in your mind, “I wish I knew that before!”?

In the next UX Sheffield, Mila will share UX and Design Research horror stories to laugh at, question and ultimately learn from. Some of the areas to be covered: ‘When to play a psychologist role and when a police investigator’, ‘How not to overdo with numbers, material, and smiles’, ‘How to screw up with tech, place or time’.

We all have those stories so bring them along and let’s have an open discussion on how to prepare for, improvise and mitigate those stressful/awkward/ “Gosh, why is it happening to me?” situations. Get ready to participate and learn some practical tips for your UX and Design Research projects.

UX Sheffield: The Outrage Economy by Daniel Harvey

Social media profits come from advertising revenue. As a result, companies like Twitter and Facebook care most about monthly active users. Sadly, people spend more time on these services when they see content that angers them.

But what are the alternative business models? And how can we create platforms that benefit our digital well-being?

UX, Psychology and the Power of 100

What do a overnight 40% drop in road accidents, a night in on the sofa watching TV and a good night's sleep have to do with digital product design?

Humans only have limited mental capacity and no-one is ever operating at 100%.

We are all influenced by the world around us and by how our minds work. As designers we need to be able to understand this and design for it.

The power of 100 is a powerful way to understand the modern world we designing for. How your website or app will be used in real life and to design for how people live their lives today.

Combining psychology theory, the latest in UX techniques the power of 100 is a modern design framework that matches the modern complex world we and our users live in.

After all a designer who doesn’t understand psychology is going to be no more successful than an architect who doesn’t understand physics.

A bi-monthly event in Sheffield where we invite speakers from around the country to come and talk about their experiences in UX research and design projects.

With many VR applications being built and companies dipping their toe in the VR water we are seeing that many of these have a poor user experience.

UX Sheffield: Content Strategy Tales from the Vault

Make It or Break It: Content Strategy Tales from the Vault with Rahel Anne Bailie

The discipline of content strategy has been evolving, and has gone from obscurity to necessity for communicators with sophisticated publishing needs. We've matured to the point where we have some lessons to teach - some of them uplifting, others not so much. This presentation will brush off the cobwebs, and share the highlights of some of the more "interesting" projects from the presenter's repertoire.
