Just about everyone has probably had at least one good idea in their life-time. When you believe you’re on to something, it’s can be frustrating trying to gain traction in the face of obstacles that can be technical, political, financial or organizational. Adam Polansky will discuss ideas and innovation. Topics will include: • What exactly is innovation? • How do others perceive the value of innovation? • How do you qualify innovation? • What channels can you use to get momentum behind an idea? The presentation itself is short so that there will be time for discussion and examples. Having an idea is just the beginning. Breathing life into it is another story.

These exercises are useful for designers looking for inspiration and creativity. Usability professionals will gain an understanding of design principles, which will be useful when making interface recommendations. In the latter part of the class, Brian will walk through a series of artists interpretations of the Last Supper, where you will use your new found da Vincian skills to interpret other renderings of Da Vinci's Last Supper.DFW UPAdfwupa@gmail.comhttp://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/dfwupa%40gmail.com/public/full/dnn4bb6lcvf8rr4jt82hv68nfg2010-02-26T14:50:25.000Z2010-03-13T05:14:55.000ZCatherine Zhu, of Avaya and Julie Underdahl, of Convergys will describe what is takes to get it right when designing voice based systems.DFW UPAdfwupa@gmail.comhttp://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/dfwupa%40gmail.com/public/full/45urju60mktjceoc5mp7oa17842010-02-04T19:38:51.000Z2010-02-18T06:58:50.000ZAs you already know, Flash is an extremely powerful graphics tool. You can create dynamic, interactive animated content for everything from basic animations to entire web sites. Flash provides developers and designers with greater control over the display of their works than would otherwise be possible. When you design Web pages without Flash, you are at the mercy of the browser used by your customers. Using Flash allows you to determine exactly how the site will function and appear, regardless of the browser used. This workshop is for beginners. Bring your laptop to get some hands-on experience with Flash. You can download Flash before the workshop or you can do it at the first break. You are guaranteed to walk away with a good foundation on Flash with real examples, tips and tricks, and hand-on exercises. Your instructor is Dave Gillem, Interactive Creative Director at Travelocity. Dave will give you an overview of Flash, IDE, and Action Script, and then he will run you through a series of hands-on exercises using Flash.DFW UPAdfwupa@gmail.comhttp://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/dfwupa%40gmail.com/public/full/iq5gm5pnpkiaei5ejkojvqr6g42010-02-04T18:34:02.000Z2010-02-18T06:58:50.000ZDFW UPA and DFW Scrum team up to bring you Martin Fowler from ThoughtWorks.
