SKETCHING USER EXPERIENCES TUTORIAL
=======================
at INTERACT 2015 in Bamberg/Germany
Tuesday, September 15th 2015, from 9.00 - 12.30
by Nicolai Marquardt (University College London)
Tutorial Overview
---------------------------------------
Creating hand drawn paper-pencil sketches can be a valuable tool for
finding the right design; before later refining the work and getting the
design right. This hands-on tutorial will demonstrate how to integrate
sketching into researchers’ and interaction designers’ everyday
practice. The tutorial will run over two 90-minute sessions and will
guide participants through selected sketching techniques and strategies.
These techniques are partially based on the Sketching User Experiences
Workbook (http://sketchbook.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/), but also include other
techniques and examples not covered in the book. Live sketching
demonstrations and step-by-step instructions will illustrate a basic
toolset for getting started sketching when working on HCI research
projects. The demonstrated techniques include, for example:
* Sketching vocabulary: learning to quickly draw objects and people
* Rapid sketching of people's emotions and gestures: learning sketching
shortcuts and strategies to rapidly sketch common elements of sketches
in HCI
* 10 plus 10 design funnel: developing different ideas and refinements
of selected ideas
* Photo tracing: create collections of sketch outlines that form the
basis of composed sketches
* Hybrid sketches: combining sketches with photos
* Storyboards for interaction sequences: creating visual illustrations
of an interaction sequence and telling a story about use and context
over time
* Sketch boards: sharing and discussing sketches with others
With a series of hands-on exercises during the tutorial and different
provided templates, the participants of the tutorial can directly apply
the learned techniques in practice. We will demonstrate many best
practices and sketching shortcuts, and involve all participants in joint
sharing and discussion sessions of the sketches created during the
different hands-on activities. We will demonstrate how we used sketching
techniques in our recent research projects when designing interactive
systems, and highlight how to apply the learned sketching techniques
during all stages of the design and research process. The tutorial ends
with an overview of additional resources and books about sketching
techniques, and also possible software and hardware for digital sketching.
This tutorial is open for everyone and does not require any previous
drawing expertise. We will provide sketching materials and templates,
but please feel free to bring your own sketches to share, sketchbooks,
pens or paper. The tutorial ID for registration is T05.
