But in fact style has always been a powerful design tool, acting as a rich resource for innovation and new solutions to design challenges. Style is a dynamic, self-correcting sy stem; \nit is a pattern language; it bridges branding and functionality, de sirability and usefulness; it is, in fact, often the bridge between mere "b est practices" and true innovation. \n \nJoin Christopher Fahey in a discus sion of how, historically, style awareness is a core aspect of innovative d esign. If you'd like to attend, please send your RSVP to nyc-rsvp@ixda.org. \n \nDetails: \nTuesday, Thursday, July 26th at 6:30pm \nLocation provided on RSVP (send RSVPs to nyc-rsvp@ixda.org). \n \n \nAbout Christopher Fahey : \nChristopher is a founding partner and the information architecture prac tice lead at Behavior, an award-winning New York web design consultancy.

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 \n-- \n \nPresent ed by Interaction Design Association and Cooper. \n \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!
