The UX Infinity Gems 6 Ways to Create Great UX

[@108109093]

UX Mantra: 1. Design >> Words >> Declutter-ing-ness >> Clarity 2. Validation >> Testing Designs >> Being Humble >> Delight Our Users Notes: - PEOPLE DON'T READ - User's attention is a precious resource and it should be allocated accordingly. - Perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to take away. - Information put on a screen for any reason other than being absolutely essential adds to the cognitive load. By adding to the cognitive load we loose both valuable space and the patience of our user. >100 clear screens > 1 cluttered one. > Whitespace is good! :) - Clarity refers to the focus on one particular message or goal at a time, rather than attempting to accomplish too much at once (which means -> Less words and less action items on screen - see 15:00) - Be humble. Ego kills design. Ego stops learning. (Become mindful, Be honest) - DELIGHT OUR USERS (PERSONALITY) > Personality is the mysterious force that attracts us to certain applications and repels us from others. > So if we create solutions for them that doesn't delight, and frustrates them - and they have to use that day in day out - imagine the stress that it adds :( > You should anticipate their questions and identify moments of anxiety and use those as opportunities to delight (Idea: Use mouse tracking or iris tracking to identify stress patterns and find which features, or lack thereof, triggered those reactions in the user) > Something that's fun and you can enjoy while you're watching it can make a HUGE EMOTIONAL IMPACT on the user - Sidenote: Amazing presentation at 30:13, the person-goal-obstacle illustration. I think I might reuse this in one of my talks! :) - DELIGHT ISN'T ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT, IT'S ABOUT YOUR USER. It's not about a FEATURE, it's about an EMOTION. > Make your solutions enjoyable to use by connecting feelings with features. - At the end of the day, we just try to brighten our user's day!

Ugh, users do read.

This audience did not deserve this presentation, Well done Jordan

[@bocelott]

Because they didn't laugh at bad jokes?

[@bravefastrabbit770]

@@bocelott Just goes to show that the average designer is a fucking NPC

[@SandsofMind]

Excellent presentation. The jokes throughout are not unappreciated and it really made the presentation very enjoyable. Please keep up the great work, Jordan!

[@MagykZan]

I liked the "live" example of a bad UI cleaned up and improved, and walking through that process. Good talk.

[@liamelliott3779]

If you liked that, take a look at the Refactoring UI series by Steve Schoger. It's all about improving poorly-designed UIs.

My parents named me "Good Talk", so hi.

'Information put on a screen, for any reason, other than for actually being absolutely essential, adds to the cognitive load. By adding to the cognitive load we lose both valuable space and the patience of our users. We just learnt that users don't read, so we need to make sure that the only thing they have to read is what they need to in order to complete a task' - 11:20

[@walterwhite5249]

The best talk that I ever seen regarding on design or UX. Literally spending after several years understanding what is UX now I came to know what actually the UX is and what its responsibility in creating great design or experience to *USERS* A great round of applause for Jordan Lawrence for this wonderful work

[@janisbillepp9396]

one of the most delightful presentations I've seen

[@AnastasiaSound]

I recently started UX Design course, very excited to start in the field. Thank you for this presentation, it really helps to get a sense of what UX is early on!

[@miss_pouty]

Hi! @ Anastasia Sound Have you got any ui ux position job yet?

[@SwastikSwarupDas]

I used these tricks in my school presentations, and got a good grade everytime, it was like miles better than everybody else's mess, but its school everybody gets a good grade

[@ruthmolina4470]

Good presentation. I especially liked the idea of losing one's ego and keeping the user's needs in mind.

[@praveersrivastava2311]

One of the best talks on UX design talks I have seen. So nicely presented!! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@a810919]

Great presentation for understanding the fundamental of the UI/UX. The example in the video is easy to understand!

[@alainponroy2621]

I' m new to design and I'm glad to have watched this video, very well done you 😀

[@hectorwearden202]

Talk starts at 3:54. Great talk, even worth taking a few notes. I especially enjoyed the last part which was on creating delight.

[@mounirelogbani]

This talk is so educative and informative, I love it. Straight to the point with live example. Anyone know where I can find other speeches of him?

[@jadesawyer6691]

Trying to better my class webpage and this presentation was so helpful, thank you!

[@HaniHassan1]

Very good way of explaining in just 6 ways, I am grateful to you for sharing this. One thing to add, I think you also a designer like me, sometime reads but not understand like 100 vs 1: 18:52 added information/context adds clarity, if you add also on recap 32:32, it will be memorable and delightful as well :)

[@kristopherryanwatson]

I was truly hoping that by the 20:00 mark he wouldnt have any more comic book/thanos references. I was wrong, and couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes. jesus christ.

[@mounirelogbani]

Anyone know where to get more speech videos from this speaker? His speech is in another level, very informative and very simple :)

[@tobiasburkart2281]

That might be the most beautiful and significant presentation on this topic. Thanks!

[@JacoblBroughton]

thanks guys i was about to ask lol

[@mrslindsay]

This is such a great talk. I, too love Kendrick Lamar. I also work in a b2b software setting and I definitely heard you say things I've seen, especially ego in design. It is a great battle and sets apart the novice from the master. Loved your concept of decluttering versus clarity. I also thought you explained some very complicated subjects very succinctly and simply. While this presentation was informative, I also enjoyed Jordan's calm and pleasant demeanor. The world needs more Jordan Lawrence presentations.

[@VicZ582]

Very good talk. and very visually pleasing slides!

[@HStandard]

Thank you so much Jordan. You rock man. I have learned a lot of stuff in 30 minutes. Congratulation and keep going

[@javiasilis]

Amazing presentation and slideshow. I agree with most of what you've shown.

[@akashl253]

All ux principles were really nice... Learnt a lot by real world example.. Thanks

[@TheActualTed]

Just don't oversimplify everything. Modern design of some SW and websites is atrocious and gives 0 information. Many websites are focused on slow animations and high res pictures rather than actual information. Sometimes I just want a phone number or an address of a company, not 20 "material design lite" menus that actually say nothing and only slow down an old device.

[@paulacastillo7546]

Finally found a good ux conference/class! Thank you

[@winstong7438]

This is the best video on ux design i have ever watched.

[@williammrs]

Amazing Talk. This guy is really good at what he does.

[@TheOrphanLaboy]

are there footnotes in a blog somewhere of this? does Jordan have a public portfolio?

[@1310Arjun]

That was one of the best presentations I've ever sat through.

[@feriansyahbonauli3515]

pure gold, very good talk. thanks for the valuable insight.

[@sosasees]

Some Windows dialog boxes usually have 2 options: *OK* and *Cancel* . But if I could reprogram the buttons to say something else, they'd say *Yes* and *No* instead

[@cesarsfalcao]

This slide alone @11:57 changed my life

[@epicvillain8308]

Users read. Have you ever heard of a blog. It’s about setting the expectation about what they’re committing to. Hence the “5 min read” affordance medium introduced.

[@titusdecali5820]

I tell people that constantly "People don't read". Exactly my thoughts when approaching UX and copywriting.

[@yandodov]

"Information put on a screen for any reason other than being absolutely essential adds to the cognitive load."

[@pramanikd]

The presentation was very insightful. Thank you.

[@digvijaychauhan2000]

This is a really good content. Are there any books or other videos by Jordan Lawrence? I tried to Google it but couldn't find any.

[@akshatjainbafna]

I think different scenarios require different set of words to Enhance user experience. For ex. A 7 star hotel will use more hard vocabulary for their customer base while a web application would have to make it simpler for people as their is nobody to guide in how to navigate.

[@chrispawl]

Good presentation - Curious Jordan what font are you using for the presentation?

[@davian9872]

Amazing presentation, awesome presenter. Thanks for the gold!

[@baguetteDuGame]

What can you do if you're in a company that doesnt want or doesn't have the resources to do all the "Validation" phase ?

[@beofonemind]

Classic talk, a lot of wisdom.

[@jorgeriveramx]

I as a developer hope that the UI/UX designer on my team watches this, specially the part of "consistency is key". I swear that she never reuses any element on the website, she is so "creative" that is always coming up with new ways of doing the same thing. We have like 3 totally different looking drop-down menus. It's impossible to create reusable components. :-(

[@baguetteDuGame]

you can have multiple styles on a dropdown menu if the content/context is different. For instance, i would not be surprised to have a small differences between a simple list of options, a rich content like an account menu and a calendar for instance. I don't know what are the differences you're talking about, but i also see a lot of devloppers complain as soon as there is doesn't fit exactly the component they created. And that kills UX.

this is exactly how i would make a presentation, this guy is the best, thats why i love being a damn ui/ux designer

[@getstadiumfit]

Great insights Jordan! It really helps me alot

[@Khaltazar]

The leader of my group at work REALLY likes giant buttons. By giant I mean it literally takes up 1/6 of the screen. You can have 6 buttons showing on a full desktop computer and on a phone you can see 2 smaller big buttons at a time.

[@rawcatYT]

If you use Google Trends, make sure to compare the right terms. e.g.: "Login" is widely more used than "Log in" etc. (trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=login,log%20in,sign%20in,sign%20on)

[@TheScottGordon]

Great talk! Thank you!

[@Toopain2125]

I currently work at a healthcare organization that constantly pushes things out to the users without testing and as a user trainer it’s frustrating when the design is terrible and their work around is a workflow. in reality they need to re-evaluate their design. They want to create a better experience for the patients but keep forgetting about the clinical users. If it’s a frustrating experience for the clinical users, then it’s going to be a terrible experience to the patients.

Ego kills deisgn - YES! Egos kills everything!

[@smartpokertable]

What software did you use for that presentation? Looks really cool.

[@David-xx7ny]

Any could do it. Simple shapes, negative space, and gradients. Of course, all aligned!

5:46 there's a ’ instead of a ' Because, these days, right single quotes are often automatically applied instead of apostrophes (which don't lean in any direction).

[@learnthenew3119]

Thanks to providing with examples

[@codelucky]

Gradient everywhere.

[@yamiteru4376]

And where's the UI? The "finished" example is somewhat usable but painful to look at.

Good talk. But I was distracted about how much the speaker looks like Dominic Monaghan.

[@paulo-drummond]

I understud those references...

[@cruzmou]

How is it that being a UX presentation, the screen and the speaker are both shown in the screen in PERSPECTIVE missing A LOT of the usable screen size and actually making it hard to see? Great experience though.................................................... :|

Nice!
