Usability Quote of the Day

October 15, 2008

The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner. -- Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving The Web   (via interaction-design.org)

Where are all the information designers?

"Information Design has arguably been around since man could first scribble on cave walls, but the term has only gathered recognition within the last 25 years. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, the Society of Technical Communication (STC) Special Interest Group on Information Design provides the following definition:

'The field of information design applies traditional and evolving design principles to the process of translating complex, unorganized, or unstructured data into valuable, meaningful information. The practice of information design requires an interdisciplinary approach which combines skills in graphic design, writing and editing, instructional design, human performance technology, and human factors.' "
