It’s a year since the iPad was announced to an almost universal ‘huh?’ from the technical press. But it turns out to have been a global success and other manufacturers are hurrying to catch up. APA (which brings together a variety of publishing companies) invited me to Apple’s Regent Street centre to talk about the way iPad is changing the way we use computers.

Reading and responsive design

Here’s some data that might change the way you write content for responsive design.

Mobile app or mobile web?

Should your strategy be to design mobile apps or mobile websites? The variety of mobile devices is exploding and this area gets more confusing every day. We’ve a simple, smart answer.

Artificial emotional intelligence

For the past 50 years ‘emotional design’ has meant ‘give your product a face’ or ‘write cheeky copy’. Today we have a chance to do something more sophisticated, satisfying and human.

Excellent deck. It reinforced certain assumptions (“me” time)I had about the device and loved the Omnigraffle example.

As someone who has been struggling with very physical product design of late, I appreciated the time devoted to prototyping.

Of course, budgeting for early failure and having the investment for adequate prototyping is helpful too.
