About this session• We’re going to solve a design “problem” together
• We’re all going to participate• Sketching, sharing, collaborating
• Don’t worry about your design skills• This is about ideas and communication• It’s not about beautifully formed interfaces
Source: Adaptive Path
What to think about• Who would encounter this?• What might they be doing when this happens?• How would they feel?• How could we help?
• Consider:• Appearance: design elements that reflect the University’s reputation• Functionality: what would help the website visitor?• Words: what we say and how we say it has a big impact on what happens next
Step 1 – sketching on your own• Sketch as many ideas for ‘Page not found’ 404 error pages as you can
• Use the 6 screen template
• You have only 5 minutes!

Step 3 – sketching with others’ ideas• Refine your sketch ideas
• You must use at least one ideafrom someone else
• Use the 6 screen template
• You have only 5 minutes!

Step 5 – paired sketching• Work with a partner to produce one refined sketch
• You must use at least one ideafrom someone else again
• Use the single screen template
• Use a Sharpie
• You have only 5 minutes!

What just happened here?• We collaborated & shared
• We explored a problem & got inside other people’s experiences
• We sketched & listened more than we talked
• We generated ideas - around 300 in under an hour
