What: Joint PHICHI and AIGA November Meeting: the Visual vs. the Usable - A
Panel Discussion

On November 2nd, PhiCHI (The Philadelphia Region's Chapter of the ACM
SIGCHI) and AIGA Philadelphia (American Institute of Graphic Arts) will be
holding their next joint meeting; a round table discussion with audience
participation and panelists from user experience and design team members
from Electronic Ink, Inc. and The Vanguard Group, Inc..

The organizers of the event would like your feedback on the following 2
questions:


QUESTION 1:
How do you feel when your wire frame is not adhered to?

Please respond to all. We only ask the following:

-- Say more than "I feel _." State the reasons behind your feelings and why
you feel adhering to wire frames is important.
-- Refrain from using inflammatory statements and generalizations about
designers. Remember, many designers do understand and support usability.

QUESTION 2:
Do you have any questions that you would like to hear designers answer?

Please respond to all. We only ask the following:

-- Frame your question with the purpose of trying to understand a designer's
point of view, not to present a "gotcha question". Many designers may not
have been exposed to concepts you’ve long understood. Your question may be
the first time they’ve thought about it.

-- Keep it civil

We will endeavor to address as many questions as time permits at the event.
Remember, we envision The Visible vs. the Usable to be a series of events.
The discussion will continue.

Thursday, November 2nd
Refreshments & Networking: 6-6:30pm – Food and beverages will be provided.
