Providence UX Meetup: July 20

Cocktail Sketch (Old Fashioned) by Bildbunt@Flickr

Hey Providence peeps, on Tuesday July 20, grab a wireframe, a color palette, and a cocktail glass to mix it up with local user-experience pros. A few folks are staging a casual meetup of designers and UX nerds. If you dig liquids, interaction design, info architecture, and usability, come join us!

This is the second outing for this fandango; a few interaction designers kinda spontaneously got together for a social meetup a few weeks ago, and we decided we'd try to do it monthly.

This time around we're adding some casual content, too. The program is... me! I've volunteered to be the guinea pig for a brief, informal presentation about mobile app design. I'll talk up a few of the ideas from Tapworthy. Pull up a banquette and let's talk iPhone. Here are the coordinates:

Hope you'll join us! We're angling to do this shindig every month or so. Next up, August 24 at The Avery. We set up a Facebook group to manage organization and announcements. Give it a like to stay in the loop: Providence UX Meetup on Facebook

Designing for “Context” Is Tricky Business
Designers often conflate device context with user context—or worse, with user intent. “This is mobile, so they’ll never want to do that.” ”This is mobile, so it’s aimed only at users on the go.” Friends, this is hooey. 0 comment(s)

Desknots
More and more, when we refer to mobile, what we really mean is “non-traditional computing devices and environments,” a stodgy mouthful that really boils down to not the desktop. We need a new term for our sprawling landscape of devices. 5 comment(s)
