Session Title
In context: Designing for multi-targeted experiences
Presenter
Aynne Valencia
Session Type: Presentation
A lot of today’s digital and product experiences have several touch points in which to reach individuals: web, widget, mobile applications, device optimized experiences, physical space experiences, etc. Designing the experience for each channel separately is not enough anymore. As designers we are finding ourselves working on one experience that runs across multiple platforms and is appropriate to the context of use. In order to create a fluid and cohesive experience, we need step back, capture and coordinate the interactions between the different media channels.
A sitemap has worked wonders for documenting websites, but our experiences have outgrown them. In this session we want to start a conversation to see how our tools can evolve to fit the needs of the experiences we are designing for now. We’ll show a survey of models some multi-targeted experiences follow and provide a set of design deliverables that we have seen applied to some degree of success in the design of this type of experiences.
