UX in a Nutshell | Online

About this class

"UX in a Nutshell” compresses years of learning into a single, simple look at the foundations of how we process Information Architecture in order to get that A-Ha moment, see the interface, and flesh out the wireframes.

• We look at several detailed blueprints. Most include User Roles, Site Maps, and corresponding wireframes.

• How do we extract information from stakeholders? How do we know what we are designing when the stakeholders explain what they (think they) want, and hope you can give them?

• What does this professional blueprint/deliverable look like?

• This class shows how to design (mainly) enterprise applications. There is little to no Start-Up or website material here. The blueprints are often 15-30 pages deep. In a blueprint (PDF deliverable), the user roles take up one page, the site maps take up 1-4 pages, and the annotated wireframes correspond to all boxes in the site maps showing how pages or features are represented in wireframe form, for delivery to visual designers and development teams.
