July 23 UX:Still Worth Doing Well

We have written before of Edward Tufte.

Tufte is the original user experience - UX - designer. He teaches one day seminars in information design which are highly, highly recommended. His specialty is a design philosophy that is at once beautiful and effective. Think that's not important? Tufte heavily cites examples of PowerPoint presentations that were poorly designed. People died as a result of decisions based on those self same PowerPoints. Unfortunately this event is completely subscribed. There are still openings in Seattle later in the week. The seminar is reasonably priced as it includes a set of Tufte's reference books. It is also fascinating and entertaining; Tufte is professor emeritus at Yale. Edward Tufte one day seminar on information and presentation design. Details at www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/courses. 8:45AM-4 $380
