A couple weeks ago I had the fortunate opportunity to complete a three-part course on “User Experience” at Pacific New Media, located at the University of Hawaii’s Outreach College in Manoa.
Visiting artist, Maria Giudice, CEO of Hot Studio in San Francisco, cleverly delivered a mountain of valuable information on how to create a successful user experience for the web.
Over the weekend we covered Project Management, Interface Design and Brand, Content and Visual Strategy. To sum it all up, these classes were designed to help us students gain a better understanding of what makes a website successful for both the client and the user.
Even though the focus was on the website experience, I felt the model could be useful for a variety of business types. The class was great fun and I walked away with a ton of ideas and inspiration. Thanks Maria!
