How many users is a picture worth? - Illustration in interfaces
Design, Given on 11 April 2017
About this talk
While interface standardisation in the form of Apple and Microsoft’s flat design or Google’s Material Design has ushered in an era of user-friendly and easy-to-use tools, even its greatest fans will admit that the resulting similarity of interfaces is also a disadvantage. It brought about three main challenges: how to set our products apart from the competition and overcome the dullness of uniformity, humanizing the product in the process. Tibor argues that illustration is a great solution to this problem. He showed how it can explain use better than words, distinguish our product and make our users identify with it.
