  2. Hagan Rivers – Simplifying Complex Applications » UIE Brain Sparks

    It’s easy for applications to get overcomplicated and bogged down with data – especially in an enterprise setting. It’s hard to keep track of so many different things. When dashboards and widgets are employed, the goal is to make your life easier, but often that’s not the result. The solution—simplify these applications for specific use cases and give the right people the right information they need for their given task.

    Hagan Rivers, of Two Rivers Consulting, spends her time meeting with teams to show them exactly how to streamline these complex applications. Whether it’s an app for managing purchase orders or hospital patients, there is a lot to consider. Hagan expresses the value of taking a step back and sifting through the complexity. This allows you to untangle the necessary bits to arrive at a better focus.

  4. David Rivers on Visual Design for Web Applications (UIE Brain Sparks)

    Solid gold advice from David Rivers on how to approach visual design for web applications. This is not visual design as in making things pretty - it’s visual design as in proper problem solving.

    Even just listening to the first couple of minutes gives you his 9 principles - Using The Stage; Attention Grabbers; Consistency; Interaction Planes; Borders, Boxes and Alignment; Fonts; Colour, Lighting and Branding; Affordances; Mocking Up With Real Data.

    But he goes on to talk about other aspects, including my favourite stuff which was about designing data views for web apps - combining columns, using up to five shades of grey to differentiate, avoiding alternating row colours. And best of all, he points out that the ‘visited link’ state makes almost no sense in a web app. (As opposed to an information-rich website, where it’s vital). I can safely say that no-one’s mentioned that crucial distinction to me before!
