More evidence to suggest I should have been a horse girl? #100things #horsegirl #studies (at Provo, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXthoqHpT8j/?utm_medium=tumblr

46 of 100 Thoughts
I am the cloud of your coffee
Whisking away displacing all of all
Shrouded uncertainty
Complexities too difficult to translate.
I am the steam risen from your body
Evaporating, disappearing to where?
Your fingertips trace the water drops
As my lips traced your neck
The loose tendrils of your hair
Like a feather
Playful as children
Curiosity of the unknown.
I am the fog of your breath
On cool mornings
Ice crystallized dew drops
A shiver chills your body
The memory of my touch
A lover kept in secret.
I am the dreamer
And you the dream;
The archer and you the arrow
Sailing into an impenetrable path.
Oh let me hold you
So I may say the words
Over again, and again
So that you know
I love you. Now and forever.

Common mistakes on landing pages that UX designers can prevent.
Based on the book “100 things every designer needs to know about people” written by Susan M. Weinschenk, there are some basic points that as designers we must know. This book talks about how do people see, read, think, decide, feel or remember. This topic is relevant to me, thus I have found the same problems in different websites and as a designer, I feel we can counter that. It is important to understand human behavior and be more empathic with users to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Despite all the information we learned when we were at University about the use of color, the accurate font size, or the rule of thirds, designers still doing some assumptions when creating a new website and repeating mistakes such as complex content, complex flows, and inappropriate error messages.
First of all, it is prevalent to find a complex context on websites. Due to the inappropriate use of language and terms. Users find difficult to understand the information or the terms. For this reason, I consider it is important to have a specialist or writer who can help us to be more accurate with the text or the terms we choose. Another way is Flesh-Kincaid, an online tool that can help us to calculate the reading level of our texts, in this way if it is shown that our text is complex, we can work on that. We need to make sure our readers are understanding the meaning behind the words, and not just reading. Also, it is important to not overwhelm the readers with all the information at the same time or give them multitasks. The book called this term “Progressive disclosure” which means providing only the information people need at the moment. Additionally, we need to consider that everyone has their mental model depending on their past experiences, which leads to having a mismatch between the product and the people´s mental model. Therefore it is important not to do assumptions. As well as try to create a website that interacts with the user, just as it does in person, using basic guidelines, and predicts different scenarios, to avoid the complexity of it.
Secondly, abstain from complex flows. Designers tend to trust too much on eye-tracking tools to make sure the users are watching whatever they want them to watch, but this tool is not 100 percent accurate. Designers might assume that users have wandering minds, and it is important to give them signals of how to use or navigate within a website. These cues are called affordances.
Finally, error messages sometimes are so abstract and helpless to the user. Thus, these messages usually just say “Error”, instead of providing a better explanation of what the problem is, and guiding the user of what to do using uncomplicated language. However, it would be better, if designers focus on the likely mistakes and test the product with similar targets to predict errors as well as work with different strategies. Thus people use different paths to solve their errors based on their personal past experiences. Moreover, give them the freedom to undo things easily, in the same vein, this will prevent a user to get an error message.
After all, it is important to think about the user if we want to create or build something online and be aware that we need to create a strong experience, thus we are competing with the absence of having an actual/physical product. However, it is important to consider that if you ask the user what does he/she wants, the answer will not be certain, thus users sometimes do not know exactly what they want, even when they think they do. Users still want to have control of their choices, having autonomy, even when it is a simple task such as complete a survey, but they still want to track their process and see how close they are to accomplish their goal, which will motivate them. Do not make assumptions base on age. Also, what it is easy for one, it will not be for another user. A piece of good advice is to try to think that your user will do your task in the worst scenario, create something intuitive and without too much stress, so make the user´s life easier. Furthermore, create websites for scanning, not reading. Remember that the user has to get an idea and a reason to stay on your website just in a glance, otherwise, you can lose him.
German Film Festival Review: 100 Dinge
German Film Festival Review: 100 Dinge
What we really need is a sweater and an apple. “100 Dinge” (“100 Things”) tackle the issue facing millennials today: Do we really need all the stuff that we buy online?
Paul Konaske and Toni Katz are best friends who essentially grew up together. In a struck of luck, they sold the app they developed (Paul called it “NANA,” a Siri-like invention which creepily knows all that you want to buy)…
