Designers != Pixel Pushers

Session Description

Designing for interactive media is much more than pushing pixels into place. To truly design a great user experience (UX), designers have to think about all aspects of the product–everything from the colors and design to the wording/written tone, to the structure and layout of information, and even how long the page takes to load after pushing that button. Because of technology’s ever growing complexity, the designer’s job has grown beyond just a single focus. While this can seem overwhelming at first, I believe it is the most exciting time to be a designer! I’ll share some of my tips for holistic designing, but also looking at strategy and a little development. So whatever your level or focus, you might learn a thing or three.
