The visual principles of harmony, unity, contrast, emphasis, variety, balance, proportion, repetition, texture and movement (and others) are widely recognized and practiced, even when they aren’t formally articulated. But creating a good design doesn’t automatically mean creating a good experience. In order for us to cultivate positive experiences for our users, we need to establish a set of guiding principles for experience design. Guiding principles are the broad philosophy or fundamental beliefs that steer an organization, team or individual’s decision making, irrespective of the project goals, constraints, or resources. Whitney will share a universally-applicable set of experience design principles that we should all strive to follow, and will explore how you can create and use your own guiding principles to take your site or product to the next level.

The overall message is that principles provide consistency, shared vision, and a basis for objective evaluation in UX design.

Mary Wharmby provides tips for creating an effective UX portfolio. She recommends treating the portfolio like a UX design project and following the UX design process of discovery, strategy, design, testing and iteration. This includes discovering the audience and competitors, developing an identity and strategy, demonstrating problem-solving and thinking skills through case studies or process descriptions, testing designs with others, and continually updating the portfolio.
