\nIxDA San Francisco arrives with its first public talk in the city. For t
 he first event in our design tools series we present Kevin Cheng from Yahoo
 ! Brickhouse and OK/Cancel (ok-cancel.com).
\n
\nOften, wireframes, require
 ments, personas and other documents have yielded unsatisfactory results – t
 hat is, when they are read at all. At Yahoo!, Kevin Cheng has been experime
 nting with using comics as a technique for communicating the core concepts 
 behind a design’s intended user experience.
\n
\nIn this presentation, Kevi
 n will share how this technique has worked well to get teams informed and o
 n the same page, without fixating on interface details too early in the pro
 ject. He’ll demonstrate an in-depth walkthrough of his process and the adva
 ntages he’s found using comics over other methods. Best of all, you won’t e
 ven need to take an art class to use this methodology.
\n

\nPresent
 ed by Interaction Design Association and Cooper.

\nIxDA has other great 
 events in the works, but we’re always on the lookout for great speakers wit
 h great presentations. If you’re interested in speaking at a future event o
 r have an idea for a future presentation, please get in touch!
