The Top 10 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People
We design to elicit responses from people. We want them to buy, read, register, and take action of some kind. Designing without understanding about people is like exploring a new city without a map: results will be haphazard, confusing, and inefficient. From her new book, 100 Things Every Designer Needs To Know About People, Dr. Weinschenk has picked her top 10 "things" that you need to know in order to design intuitive and engaging websites, applications and products that match the way people think, work, and play.

While the world waits for Web 3.0 and The Singularity, the real action has already begun. It's called the intertwingularity. It's an era at the crossroads of ubiquitous computing and the Internet, a place where information blurs the boundaries between products and services to enable cross-channel, multi-platform, trans-media, physico-digital user experiences.
In this session, we'll explore how experience maps and "IA thinking" can improve the process and product of information architecture, knowledge management, and user experience design.
