Autant dire que le marché est en ébullition et que les éditeurs placent de gros espoirs dans les touchbooks [...] Frédéric Cavazza, SimpleWeb.fr (2010-02-03) 2010-02-05T18:00:19+01:00 http://www.simpleweb.fr/2010/02/03/quels-modeles-dinteraction-pour-les-touchbooks/ 5D0BBA2B-4474-4A44-9CF9-FCA55F3D9BA2 If you're going to use color effectively in your designs, you'll need to know some color concepts and color theory terminology. A thorough working knowledge of concepts like chroma, value and saturation is key to creating your own awesome color schemes. In Part 1: The Meaning of Color of our color theory series, we covered the meanings of different colors. Here, we'll go over the basics of what affects a given color, such as adding gray, white or black to the pure hue, and its effect on a design, with examples of course [...] Cameron Chapman, Smashing Magazine (2010-02-02) 2010-02-05T18:00:18+01:00 http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/02/02/color-theory-for-designers-part-2-understanding-concepts-and-terminology/ 07151D06-D6F6-4512-A6F6-8BF17A10AAEE A few weeks ago, Fred Wilson dictated a post on his blog, A VC, using his Nexus One phone. He also discovered Swype, an alternative text input system, which now has an unofficial Android app. As usual, the comment threads on A VC were very active and had lots of thoughts about the future (and past) of voice and keyboard input [...] Brad Feld, UX Magazine (2010-02-01) 2010-02-05T18:00:17+01:00 http://uxmag.com/technology/speech-recognition-is-only-part-of-the-future FBD1E115-5EAC-4C63-B578-3C03DEFB837D Color in design is very subjective. What evokes one reaction in one person may evoke a very different reaction in somone else. Sometimes this is due to personal preference, and other times due to cultural background. Color theory is a science in itself. Studying how colors affect different people, either individually or as a group, is something some people build their careers on. And there's a lot to it. Something as simple as changing the exact hue or saturation of a color can evoke a completely different feeling. Cultural differences mean that something that's happy and uplifting in one country can be depressing in another [...] Cameron Chapman, Smashing Magazine (2010-01-28) 2010-02-05T18:00:16+01:00 http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/28/color-theory-for-designers-part-1-the-meaning-of-color/ E1EE5D40-29D5-4FF6-821F-A28A75B8ABED It's more difficult to conduct usability studies with experienced users than with novices, and the improvements are usually smaller. Still, improving expert performance is often worth the effort [...] Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox (2010-01-25) 2010-02-05T18:00:15+01:00 http://www.useit.com/alertbox/experienced-users.html F8E7BF9E-1AF3-40FE-85C2-BF91851D0180 Looking at Apple's recent hardware and software patents in aggregate reveals a coordinated proposal for a multi-touch user interface. A few years ago, I took stock of several Apple patents that opened up new interaction possibilities by rethinking the ways people could provide input through multi-touch, virtual interface controls, new physical controls, sensors, and more. Several of these including the "multi touch mouse" (now released as the Magic Mouse) have made their way into shipping Apple products [...] Luke Wroblewski, LukeW (2010-01-19) 2010-02-05T18:00:14+01:00 http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?983 E5F6349A-6578-484F-820B-BDD61BBAB3DA Depending on what we focus on, our brains can be completely blind to obvious changes going on around us. This is called "change blindness," and it is unnerving when you observe it. Below are a few examples of this in action [...] UX Magazine (2010-01-18) 2010-02-05T18:00:13+01:00 http://uxmag.com/design/change-blindness 3B366FB6-D21A-44A9-96DD-FE03233C756F Q: I am producing a very long data-entry form that is at least 3000 pixels in height. It does not require users to complete all fields. However, it is likely that users would complete all fields. I cannot choose to place the labels above the input fields, because this would double the height of each field. Therefore, I need to use a layout with labels on the left [...] Janet M. Six, UXmatters (2010-01-18) 2010-02-05T18:00:12+01:00 http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2010/01/label-alignment-in-long-forms-paper-prototyping-for-engineers.php E0BC6E02-DE1C-47BB-9A7E-934A8D32AD3A Conducting a usability test can be stressful, but you know how important this effort is. Effectively moderating a usability test is a critical part of your user research. It can put the design team on the path to success or failure in the next steps of a product's design. With a little guidance, and some practice, you can master this art of interacting with you users and get the results your organization needs [...] Adam Churchill, UIE (2010-01-14) 2010-02-05T18:00:11+01:00 http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2010/01/14/spoolcast-effective-moderating-for-usability-testing-followup/ D25EA24C-E04F-4224-BCF8-C1A6B7D9C894 Website performance is a hugely important topic, so much so that the big companies of the Web are obsessed with it. For the Googles, Yahoos, Amazons and eBays, slow websites mean fewer users and less happy users and thus lost revenue and reputation [...] Smashing Magazine, Christian Heilmann (2010-01-06) 2010-02-05T18:00:10+01:00 http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/06/page-performance-what-to-know-and-what-you-can-do/ 1474C98E-B2ED-4452-A94B-61229F118DAF Thinking about what's next online is fun because everything you wish to come true will come true. While commercial products obey to the laws of the market, which in part are influenced by the resources needed to produce these products, the web is defined by the user. If the user wants something he will either get it or create it himself. To see beyond today's limits of the web all we need to do is see what is needed [...] Infomation Architects (2010-01-05) 2010-02-05T18:00:09+01:00 http://informationarchitects.jp/whats-next-in-web-design/ EAFE32AB-2E15-44A5-86BD-8B8C42FBE6B3 Intranet design is maturing and reaping the rewards of continuous quality improvement for traditional features, while embracing new trends like mobile access, emergency preparedness, and user/employee-contributed content [...] Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox (2010-01-04) 2010-02-05T18:00:08+01:00 http://www.useit.com/alertbox/intranet_design.html 3BD24894-D583-482B-B3BE-6E7E84EE4FE6 Usability is like cooking: everybody needs the results, anybody can do it reasonably well with a bit of training, and yet it takes a master to produce a gourmet outcome [...] Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox (2009-12-21) 2010-02-05T18:00:07+01:00 http://www.useit.com/alertbox/anybody-usability.html C0DDD1CF-6FC8-48B6-9785-CE2DFA1FEA4E When I started work at Google, I visited the Google Earth team, hoping to find a 20% project on my favorite Google product. There I met Bruno Bowden, who introduced me to a problem I had never thought much about: how to take browser sizes into account when designing a page [...] Arthur Blume, Google Code Blog (2009-12-16) 2010-02-05T18:00:06+01:00 http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-google-browser-size.html 8784EE23-718F-43D5-B7E2-6DCC27C81A61 Revue de Web : utilisabilité, accessibilité et webdesign, les actualités de l'année 2010, classées par mois 2010-02-05T18:00:05+01:00 Patrice Bourlon - CollectiWeb.fr http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2010.php http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2010.php Revue de Web : utilisabilité, accessibilité et webdesign, les actualités de l'année 2009, classées par mois 2009-12-31T08:00:00+01:00 Patrice Bourlon - CollectiWeb.fr http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2009.php http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2009.php Revue de Web : utilisabilité, accessibilité et webdesign, les actualités de l'année 2008, classées par mois 2008-12-31T08:00:00+01:00 Patrice Bourlon - CollectiWeb.fr http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2008.php http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2008.php Revue de Web : utilisabilité, accessibilité et webdesign, les actualités de l'année 2007, classées par mois 2007-12-31T08:00:00+01:00 http://www.collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2007.php Patrice Bourlon - CollectiWeb.fr http://collectiweb.fr/sur-le-web-archives-2007.php
