Yesterday I went to my first Design Jam, a one-day event for web designers and usability experts. I am so glad I went along, I think we had a greatteam and a great idea. We worked on rapid wireframes, user research, personas and user flow diagrams.
I wanted to produce a layout for the presentation, so I whipped something up in PS while the others put the finishing touches on the presentation. We didn't get time for any quick user tests which was a shame, but overall we had a ball and were very happy with our outcome from the day. The other teams had great ideas and I loved the theme that arose of an app related to your location, not necessarily web based. Perhaps we're seeing the first changes of people wanting to make their online lives smaller and more meaningful?
