Title:

Blood, Sweat, and Fear: Great Design Hurts

Your vote:

Level:

Intermediate

Type:

Panel

Category:

Philosophical, Design

Organizer:

Michael Lopp , Apple

Description:

One of the first questions a product designer asks is, "Am I going to design this well or fast?" This panel will explore the dire consequences of building well design products from the perspective of a software engineering manager and an industry pundit. Dual presentation with John Gruber.

Sounds better than the usual stuff - a chance for real discussion.

My two cents: take a look at "Designerly Ways of Knowing" by Nigel Cross of The UK's Open University (or any of his many academic papers) - he's studied product designers for years, as have others, and summarises some useful research...

Looks like a great panel topic. I'd definitely check this one out.

Great panel

Awesome.
