Bootstrap, from Twitter

Posted by Julia in new work, UX

The best open source option for starting a website and not having to start from scratch.

  • Built to support new HTML5 elements and syntax.
    Progressively enhanced components for ultimate style.
  • Cross-everything
    Originally built with only modern browsers in mind, Bootstrap has evolved to include support for all major browsers (even IE7!) and, with Bootstrap 2, tablets and smartphones, too.
  • Despite being only 10kb (gzipped), Bootstrap is one of the most complete front-end toolkits out there with dozens of fully functional components ready to be put to use.
  • What good is an awesome design component without easy-to-use, proper, and extensible interactions? With Bootstrap, you get custom-built jQuery plugins to bring your projects to life.

Emotional Design with A.C.T.

Posted by Julia in UX

As UX professionals, we strive to design engaging experiences. These experiences help to forge relationships between the products we create and the people who use them. Whether you’re designing a website or a physical product, the formation of a relationship depends on how useful, usable and pleasurable the experience is. Ultimately, we form relationships with products and services for the same reasons we form relationships with people:

  • Pleasurable products are attractive and make us feel good. Attractive people can have the same effect.
  • Usable products are easy to interact with and easy to understand. Good conversationalists are the same.
  • Useful products fulfill our needs in a way that leaves us emotionally satisfied in the long term. Long-term relationships can fulfill our physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs.

Why use the medium of comics to dispel stereotypes?
Drawings—cave etchings on a wall—are the very first form of communication that we know of as human beings. It’s a medium that we all share. At the end of the day, The 99 is about the values shared by all humanity, and what better way to share it than in a language that all humanity understands? Also, I chose the medium of the comic because it’s an established medium. It allows me to use Islamic archetypes, which some people might not know about, in a medium that will be familiar to them.
