I think that Pauric is on the mark, but also think that the text on an
interface is the most important documentation for the product and
issues of clarity, consistency, idios, metaphor, and such are often
critical in complex interfaces and a consistency review is often quite
a useful approach.
Thank you all for your answers,
Angel,
We do have a team of technical writers who do all of the writing and
documentation, the problem is that are used to writing long detailed
help notes,
And it%u2019s very hard to get short and snappy phrases out of them.

I just read an article yesterday about the User Experience Iceberg
that looks useful in explaining the work it takes to go from point A
to the pretty, friendly interface. It's not a new concept but it was
new to me and the article links to slides you can download for your
own presentations. It's

We have several copywriters and technical writers in our marketing and

initial stab at labeling and messaging, we always have a review by
these folks as well as a proofreader. The technical writers assist

Interestingly, I was on the OfficeMax site this morning looking for a
notepad that is a mixed layout: project management with task grid on

The recent thread on the SVA program and subsequent writing about online
programs has got me wondering - how important is a Masters Degree in a
design related discipline to the success of one's career?

Hi folks,
After one year as a usability tester under my belt, I'm considering making
the transition to IxD. My resume focuses primarily on usability studies and
methodology, but I lack significant project experience with IxD itself. What
would be the best way to indicate that I am specifically
Hello IXDA people,
I'm new to this list but am enjoying the conversations and topics. Thanks
for sharing your expertise everyone!
I'm wondering how many, if any of you use pencil/pen and paper to work out
wireframes? I've used several different methods and prefer sketching when I

I draw a distinction between choosing country and choosing language.

Hi Adam,
I'm in a very similar situation as you concerning geographically
limits in terms of educational institutions. Taking a master degree
in art and technology offered me the opportunity to take some time to
create unique solutions. Product differentiation is paramount in the

I use sketches to get my ideas written down. Once I feel good about the
sketches I start working with a program on the computer. I find it easier
to explore ideas if I am not staring at a blank monitor.

Mike,
I create pencil sketches instead of wireframes. That is, I do not
create wireframes at all, and I use sketches for all of the purposes
