The folks at Onward Search have created a UX Careers Guide packed with some great information visualizations of some of the trends and metrics they are seeing in the industry. You can read more about it on their blog post. Related, if you haven’t already checked out my blog post on Starting a Career in User Experience Design you should.
Those who know me will know that I personally tend to be less interested in the ROI and more interested in the KPI of things, but Dr. Susan Weinschenk of HFI has put together this great short video on the ROI of UX. While it is a simplified view of the field of UX (only covering some aspects of UX), I think that’s what makes this video great. The final art is available as a poster from HFI, tho I didn’t get one for myself because the information they were asking for seemed excessive.
Amid Moradganjeh sent me this video of his masters degree project he has done through the Umea Institute of Design in Sweden. The project is on mobile experience design, it’s called Rimino - A Human Touch on Mobile Experience. Through the project Amid hopes to redefine the mobile experience through human factors research and design thinking. Informed by human experience, the project is guided by both observational and experimental design research methods. You can learn more about it at Rimino.com.
