Ahhh, now I understand why Microsoft finally took a turn away from the dismal practices they had until now. It was all due to this dude! Up until recently I was absolutely convinced that the majority of their UI structural decisions were made by software engineers, not designers.
I find the idea that "Ideas are not sacred" to be epiphanic. Most people are rather emotionally invested in their ideas rather than seeing them as tools or chaff.
I agree that there is no fundamental solution for a problem and saying that a drawing is finished can be an act of arrogance ore stupidity. But the type of drawing can be a well defined one. I don’t believe that it has to look “open”, we can create and vary solutions and let the imagination go free over any kind of drawing even the childish drawing ore over what we see, we see throe drawings, a 2d image of a 3d reality. A very interesting talk, I was amazed. Thanks to the poster and Buxton.
great lecture but I disagree completely with his narrow definition of storyboarding, esp. in regards to comic books. First of all, the old greats like Kirby used arrows brilliantly to show transitions between panels. But as Scott McCloud points out in "Understanding Comics", readers have grown accustomed to making the transitional leap by means of "closure"--filling in the gaps with your imagination. But then again, comics are a static medium.
The presenter needs to improve his way of presenting the message. Great content but the delivery can be improved. That aside the topic is very interesting
Bill Buxton, is a wonderful thinker, but a horrible presenter. He constantly fumbles over his own thoughts, babbles off on tangents, and presents slides so saturated with text and imagery you loose focus on the topic. For someone so focused on design, you'd think he would have applied some of that to his own presentation. There's good information here, but it'll take effort to sit through this 1 1/2 hour train wreck to extract it.
Thanks to the folks at Stanford for sharing all these HCI/design videos!
I really like the quote "if you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough."
it takes almost as much creativity to understand a good idea as to have it in the first place

Good video.
Fantastic quotes from this, you're not trying hard enough if you're not failing.

I'm a user experience designer by profession, but my interest is photography. Sad. I guess I always wanna be where Im not.
The captions for this video are not very good.
