Setting up a design system project

by Orsolya Fülöp and Daniel Pillinger

The setup process is a pivotal stage in crafting a cohesive design system. It begins with evaluating existing design elements, followed by collaborative definition of core principles. Implementation involves creating reusable components and patterns. Our systematic approach establishes a foundation for consistency, efficiency, and collaboration in design and development.

Labelling The Web

by Nicolas Bernadowitsch, Senior UX Designer, Accenture Song

Sometimes we forget to add labels to user interface elements. How does that happen and why is it a problem? Is it even necessary? Let’s talk about accessible names and labelling the web.

UX writing: How to advocate for clarity in digital bureaucracy

by Dominik Vaszily, Content Designer, Lighting Beetle*

The digital transformation of a prestigious public institution serving hundreds of millions of people presents unique challenges. How do you keep the content clear and consistent despite its legal complexities? Dominik will share his experience implementing a user-centric approach at the European Patent Office, unifying expert terminology for diverse user groups and digital tools. Ultimately, it’s about making public services accessible to everyone.

Making the business value of design visible

by Marion Haidacher, Head of Account Management at Liechtenecker

Let’s talk numbers baby! But how? UX-Design is only about making things “pretty“, right? So wrong. Because if you ask us, design is so much more and contributes significantly to the achievement of corporate goals. In this talk, we will give you useful tips on how you can communicate this within your company or in front of your customers.

Pebbles move,​ boulders don‘t – implementing usability test findings successfully in a complex scrum project setup (Johanna Schauerhofer & Michael Bechinie)

Usability testing is one of the most important user-based methods in the human-centred design process to optimize the user experience. In our talk we will share our experience of implementing continuous incorporation of the results of user-based evaluation methods. The learnings will focus on a large-scale scrum project in the context of a financial business application. We will discuss the evolutionary steps of our approach with the goal to ensure the highest possible implementation rate of usability test findings.

An alien goes UX meetup or: how to overcome the user obsession problem (Wolfgang Goebl)

I  (an IT guy) – have worked with UX professionals on many implementation projects. I appreciate their user obsession, reflected in every UX design they want to have implemented by software developers. In stark contrast, however, I’ve seen too many projects where the UX designs were, at best, just good initial input. In those projects, the actual UX design & implementation was done by software developers.    

Asking ChatGPT “What criticism is there of UX Design?” leads to some validation of my observations: “The UX discipline neglects other aspects of design, such as technical feasibility, economic profitability or social responsibility. UX focuses mainly on the usage phase of the product or service, without considering the impacts on other phases of the realisation”.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to increase the impact of UX by setting up a true co-design process of UX, implementation, and other relevant aspects of realisation in a seamless approach?

In this talk I will cover topics like:

• how to design user experiences as part of a more holistic enterprise design approach
• how to smash down the walls between UX and software architecture to enable a true co-design approach
• how the facet of “experience” should be complemented by “architecture” and “identity” to create better enterprises?

Spezialführung durch das Möbelmuseum Wien für Designerinnen, Designer und Designinteressierte. Eintritt plus Spezialführung: €15,50

Gutes Design entsteht im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kunst und Handwerk, zwischen skulpturalem und pragmatischem Anspruch, zwischen der Arbeit für die Sinne und den Notwendigkeiten des Gebrauchs.

Die Führung “Does form follow function?” zeigt anhand einer Auswahl aus den ca. 5.000 Exponaten des Möbelmuseums Wien, wie sich von der Vergangenheit bis zur Gegenwart die Gestaltungsprinzipien zwischen den Polen Repräsentation und Funktion bewegten.

Besprochen werden Beispiele von funktionswidriger Erhöhung bis zu degradierender Nützlichkeit, so etwa ein purpurbeschlagener Leibstuhl in Form eines Thronsessels oder ein zusammenklappbarer Reise-Thron. Irgendwo zwischen diesen kuriosen Extremen muss sie liegen – die goldene Mitte des guten Designs.

Das Möbelmuseum ist eines der weltweit größten Museen für Wohnkultur. Die Spezial-Führung wird von Mag. Bernd Remsing gehalten.

————————

This event is in German language. Questions in English are possible.

Special guided tour “Does form follow function?”.

Good design is created in the field of tension between art and craft, between sculptural and pragmatic demands, between work for the senses and the necessities of use.

The guided tour “Does form follow function?” uses a selection from the approximately 5,000 exhibits in the Furniture Collection Vienna to show how, from the past to the present, design principles have moved between the poles of representation and function.

Examples are discussed ranging from non-functional elevation to degrading usefulness, such as a purple-trimmed personal chair in the form of a throne chair or a foldable travel throne.

Somewhere between these curious extremes must lie the golden mean of good design.

The Furniture Museum is one of the world’s largest museums of home decor. The special guided tour will be held by Mag. Bernd Remsing.

Tuesday, 13th of December 2022, 7pm at Gasthaus Schöne Perle, Grosse Pfarrgasse 2, 1020 Wien (Google Maps).

Since our summer get-together has been a great success, we thought that the December meetup would be a good opportunity to do something similar. So we’re meeting at Gasthaus Schöne Perle this time, a modern take on traditional Austrian restaurants in the second district (about 3 minutes from U2 Taborstraße).

You can bring 2 slides, share stories, discuss new and interesting books and enjoy some good food and drinks as well.

Please note that we have a table for 15 people. We don’t know if it will be possible to accomodate more. So head over to our page at meetup.com and check if there are seats available. And please also update your RSVP in case you won’t attend so that others can take your spot. Thank you!

See you on December 13th at Schöne Perle, 19:00!
