With the latest Facebook user interface updates creating somewhat more of a barrier to my enjoyment of the platform, I thought I’d investigate more into how they go about making these ’improvements’.

Devices like the iPad, iPhone and Nexus are becoming commonplace. They bring with them new technologies that are allowing designers to break away from the traditional point-and-click method of interaction. As interface designers we need to embrace the device capabilities during the design process. So, what does this mean for the process of designing user experiences?

After Shaun Lee’s talk about the death of static websites during last week’s Design Assembly workshop I began to think about what part social media has played in this progression of web design.

Communication is the essence of what we do as designers. It doesn’t matter whether we are graphic, interface, environmental, strategic, or social media designers we are all in the business of communicating. How do we know if we are good at communicating? Is it possible to measure proficiency when it comes to such a subjective action?
