Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this appears to be a trend in web design, the use of programmatic (sometimes AI more often just plan code) to create page design components. With the growth of nocode solutions like webflow, this is an important way to make web design more affordable, easy and fast.

A puzzle with dice of discovery, interpretation, ideation, experimentation and evolution—in real-world scenarios when clubbed to solve it in a structured method is termed as Design Thinking, in other words, “its a problem solving framework”. https://walkingtree.tech/all-about-design-thinking/

Algorithm-Driven Design: How #AI Is Changing Design

Algorithm-Driven Design: How #AI Is Changing Design | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

I’ve been following the idea of algorithm-driven design for several years now and have collected some practical examples. The tools of the approach can help us to construct a UI, prepare assets and content, and personalize the user experience. The information, though, has always been scarce and hasn’t been systematic. However, in 2016, the technological foundations of these tools became easily accessible, and the design community got interested in algorithms, neural networks and artificial intelligence (AI). Now is the time to rethink the modern role of the designer.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS

We think of AI having an impact in fields that require human repetitive work but rarely think it applies to creative activities such as web or logo design. Well of course, you are wrong and this paper explains why with a number of very powerful examples and tools.

64 Ways To Think About a News Homepage

64 Ways To Think About a News Homepage - TheLi.st @ Medium - Medium

The mission was to gather together a lot of very smart people who don’t work in news — and ask them to design a new news homepage.

By news homepage, I mean any way for a user to first encounter content. 

Farid Mheir's insight:

Lots of good ideas that show how much flexibility we have when we design web pages, not just "news" homepages. Also provides some links to some of today's most progressive news delivery websites, including Quartz, Medium and others.


And then it lists the results of a brainstorm session, with many new ideas presented as handwritten notes. This is the most interesting part, as it uses the inline commenting features that are part of medium platform to get people insights into these new ideas.


WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

It shows how a blog posting platform (medium) can be used to share information and gather readers insight embedded. Simply  amazing!

#Web design is dead

#Web design is dead | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
High quality templates, mature design patterns, automation, AI, and mobile technology are signaling the end of web design as we know it.
Farid Mheir's insight:

Author makes the compelling argument that web design is not essential anymore as we consume our web in standardized forms, well recognized patterns and many different forms (mobile app anyone?).


WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Web consumption has been codified and its patterns defined over the past 20 years. sOmeone looking to innovate on the web still can I would argue, but most businesses do not need to and thus must identify partners that can decipher the web codes for them and identify the best ones to propel their business. Plus there is a reference to an AI based web design solution called the Grid which I had never heard of before but sounds promising.

Chris Bryant's curator insight, July 17, 2015 2:53 AM

This makes me wonder what we are preparing our children for as they move through school. What skills and capabilities will they need? web design was a recent emerging career field  and now this too could be automated. So what will prepare our children for the future?

5 minute read, it summarizes the key findings from eye tracking studies. No surprises (above the fold, big chunks, etc.) but it is nice to see all this in a single article. Annoying popup ads, just dismiss them to get to the post.
