2. Mobile UXCamp DC 2014 Session Takeaways
• Peter - Rapid Wireframing and Prototyping - you should wireframe in HTML and CSS, it’s
useful because you can reuse the code
• Sue - I didn’t know the term “hamburger” icon. During the Design Patterns for
Complex/Deep Navigation Schemes we discussed different options for presenting
navigation
• Steve - At the conclusion of the “hamburger" icon discussion, it was determined that no one
size fits all. Apple uses horizontal scroll, there is no one good solution, and no one is really
satisfied when there is a need to present complex navigation
• Jerry - Collaborative Design Without and Office, wireframes in Google docs, library of
shapes, closest thing to real time paper prototyping with no paper.
• *Slides: http://slidesha.re/XTXSNi
• Brock- The recurring theme in the morning, icon vs. icon and text navigation, more use
of the latter, icon based navigation, there is no association with just icons, text and icon helps
with recall

3. Mobile UXCamp DC 2014 Session Takeaways
• Kevin on Jared’s talk, UX Metrics and Measurement - Most data is subjective and crap
• Sybil - Eyetracking, when you are collecting data mobile it is different from paper or desktop,
and is tracked piece by piece vs. page by page
• What are the best takeaways for creating Living Styleguides? They allow you to make
changes on the fly, to solve a problem right away.
• *Slides http://slidesha.re/1sRcUf9
• People, Pain, Projects, Process - pain is mostly about clients, artists, it comes down to a
product its for everyone, we should educate ourselves on the process, relationships are key
• Responsive Typography - Ambient light stylesheets in responsvie typography, adjust
type based on the amount light that user is using at the time or use time of day to adjust
typography,
