UUUG - Road signs/interfaces

A good UI guides us almost effortlessly to accomplish our tasks, reach our destination with clarity and ease. But some UIs just seem to confuse, confound, and work against us at every step. Arthur Fink will look at a number of these, suggesting what went wrong, and how a more effective design might be achieved.

About the Speaker: Arthur Fink has been designing and building database applications, and consulting on system design, for thirty-three years. Most recently he’s been focusing on user interface design, usability consulting, and overall review of IT systems, as well as coaching and consulting on business management issues and on managing creativity. In another life, he’s a photographer, particularly well known for his images of dancers. The combination of his systems background, business history, and visual work make him uniquely qualified to talk about design and business. Arthur has spoken many times at techMaine annual conferences, and has organized two special sessions on UI issues.
