The document discusses the process of business design and the business model canvas. It emphasizes that design involves considering technical, business, and human factors holistically. An effective business model incorporates perspectives on offerings, operations, economics, marketing, and growth strategy. The business model canvas is a tool to design these perspectives and test assumptions through simple early experiments. The process involves clearly defining customer needs and value propositions, and designing how value will be operationally delivered. It highlights that business design requires continually exploring options, testing assumptions empirically and keeping the model hypothesis simple and elegant.

Laicos is a technology Startup Studio led by Ryan Negri and Kyle Matthews. With 20 years combined operational and startup experience, Negri and Matthews want to shape the up-and-coming startup ecosystem of Tampa, Florida, developing their own ideas to create a new tech hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. A “Startup Studio” is a structure whose aim is to repeatedly build products into companies. Thanks to its infrastructure and resources, a startup studio increase a product’s chance of success and optimize its creation and growth. The difference between incubators/accelerators and Startup Studios is the vested human capital involved around an idea. At the core of the startups studio model are dedicated teams helping business ideas develop into beautiful products and successful companies. Laicos’ flagship inaugural product, Fuse, is a social media management platform for the consumers and power users, with a simple price model and a clean and attractive UI. In addition, Laicos is developing four additional products: BusFinder, currently in beta version, an app utilizing data from the Tampa Public Transportation System; $1Market, to offer many different services to users for $1 dollar/mo, Order to Seat, for fans to order food to their seat while at a stadium or arena, and FoodStops, a food truck tracking app for consumers and marketing platform for vendors. In 20I7, we plan to work with other founders to help turn their ideas into reality.

This document discusses skeuomorphs and visual metaphors in interface design. [1] Skeuomorphs are design features that are no longer functionally necessary but reference real-world objects, while visual metaphors use images to draw comparisons and infer characteristics. [2] Skeuomorphs can help users transfer mental models and ease the learning curve, but can also limit functionality and innovation if overused. [3] Effective metaphors make interfaces more intuitive while inconsistent or random metaphors can confuse users.

In the design process we follow, once we have defined the conceptual direction and content strategy for a given design and refined our approach through user research and iterative usability testing, we start applying visual design. Generally, we take a key screen whose structure and functionality we have finalized—for example, a layout for a home page or a dashboard page—and explore three alternatives for visual style. These three alternative visual designs, or comps, include the same content, but reflect different choices for color palette and imagery. The idea is to present business owners and stakeholders with different visual design options from which they can choose. Sometimes there is a clear favorite among stakeholders or an option that makes the most sense from a brand perspective. However, there can often be disagreements among the members of a project team on which direction to choose. If we’ve done our job right, there are rationales for our various design decisions in the different comps, but even so, there may be disagreement about which rationale is most appropriate for the situation. As practitioners of user-centered design, it is natural for us to turn to user research to help inform and guide the process of choosing a visual design. But traditional usability testing and related methods don’t seem particularly well suited for assessing visual design for two reasons: 1. When we reach out to users for feedback on visual design options, stakeholders are generally looking for large sample sizes—larger than are typical for a qualitative usability study. 2. The response we are looking for from users is more emotional—that is, less about users’ ability to accomplish tasks and more about their affective response to a given design. With this in mind, we were very interested in articles we saw on Desirability Testing. In one article, the author posits desirability testing as a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods that allow you to assess users’ attitudes toward aesthetics and visual appeal. Inspired by his overview, we researched desirability studies a bit further and tried a modified version of the techniques on one of our projects. This presentation reviews the variants of desirability testing that we considered and the lessons we learned from a desirability study on visual design options for one of our projects. Interestingly, we found that while desirability testing did help us better understand participant’s self reported emotional response to a visual design, it also helped us identify other key areas of the experience that could be improved.

The document is a transcript of a talk given by Matt Jones about his company Dopplr, which is a social tool for optimizing travel. Some key points: - Dopplr allows users to share information about upcoming trips which can help users find coincidences and opportunities for serendipitous meetings while traveling. - It visualizes the "Raumzeitgeist" or spacetime spirit by mapping out all trips taken by users, giving a view of the planet's coverage by travelers. - The talk discusses concepts like spacetime and how viewing one's own future and past in new ways through models could change interactions and help find "the perfect line through the world."

Design for solving the right problem with Raine Qian Presented on March 07 2015 at FITC's Spotlight UX/UI event More info at www.fitc.ca OVERVIEW UX designers working on software applications, constantly face complex problems with a large number of constraints. How do UX designers solve problems? Functionality is not the solution. Focusing on the interface is not the solution.

The document discusses Lookout's mobile app onboarding experience. It shows how Lookout introduces key features and value propositions to users before requesting necessary permissions. Lookout presents features like finding a lost phone using location and sound first to prime users on the app's value. It then shows how requested permissions like location access directly enable these presented features. This approach of tying permissions to demonstrated value helps users understand why access is needed.
