What is creativity?

christine — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 22:38:40 +0000

For me creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing something that becomes a reality.

If you have an idea but don’t act on it, I would call this imagination not creativity.

The act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality is what I call creativity!!!

My first online portfolio

christine — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 17:22:17 +0000

My first online portfolio was created way back in the days when tables and flash was all the rage & when I could code all the html pages myself, no such thing as a front end dev, or a separate UX / UI person, no information architect , or a product owner, basically a web designer did it all in them days, was i mad!!! Now I work with teams of people who specialise in their field but I still feel my early days of doing it all was the best foundation course I ever did prior to evolving into a UX / Interaction Designer.

User testing & Agile

Early testing Identify missed issues or awkward product flows, so when should we test? The simple answer is – early and often.

Usability testing has never been easier, so embrace it and go start some user testing. I especially love www.usertesting.com an online usability testing site which is a fast and a great way to find out why visitors leave your website or don’t use your product.

Design is all around us!

What is UX aka User Experience

WIKI EXTRACT:

User Experience is any aspect of a person’s interaction with a given IT system, including the interface, graphics, industrial design, physical interaction, and the manual.[1] In most cases, User Experience Design (UXD or UED) fully encompasses traditional Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design, and extends it by addressing all aspects of a product or service as perceived by users.[2]

3 Ways to Personalize the User Experience on Your Ecommerce Site

According to a recent survey, 74% of consumers get frustrated when the websites they visit feature content, offers, and ads that don’t match their interests. To be successful long-term, ecommerce marketers need to invest in creating experiences that customize themselves to consumers and grow in value over time.

Asking consumers for information to make personalization possible may seem like a bad move, especially since so many buyers are afraid their information will be used for bad things. If, however, companies explain their reasons for asking, 77% of consumers say they’d feel more comfortable giving answers.
