    Designing for Google Glass

    by Rian van der Merwe
    Feb 26, 2014
    The small screens are coming, and we’re going to have to adjust our design processes accordingly. Emily Schwartzman does a great job of exploring how they worked through some of this complexity in Cooper, Augmedix and Google Glass: No Real Estate? No Problem:

    Designing for Google Glass made us rethink the way we do software design. Many of our projects devote a significant amount of time to defining the framework of an application and developing the detailed design of key screens. When...

    The design process of Mark Boulton Design

    by Rian van der Merwe
    Feb 25, 2014
    Mark Boulton’s How we work is a great post about their design process. I particularly like his point about personas, a method that I have defended before as well:

    The tool is not the important thing here, [what's important is] how you can use something to help people think of other people. To help an organisation to think of their customers, or designers to think of the audience they’re designing for, or the CEO to think in terms of someone’s disability rather than the P&L.

    Why are we building this app?

    by Rian van der Merwe
    Feb 25, 2014
    Jeff Atwood wrote a glorious rant about the proliferation of unnecessary mobile apps called App-pocalypse Now1:

Companies keep asking how can we get people to find and install our amazing app instead of the one question they really should have asked.

    Why the hell are we building an app in the first place?...

    What happens when placeholder text doesn’t get replaced

    by Rian van der Merwe
    Feb 24, 2014
    One of the many things I do that prove that I need to get out more is collect examples of placeholder text that ends up in a final interface. But I’ve also noticed that the issue happens more and more in the offline world as well. As I looked through my folder this morning I realized that, in the interest of science, I should post some of my favorites here. If you have any other good examples, please let me know!

    Let’s start with a very common one. Even though error messages are extremely...
