Dark Patterns in UX design - a unique, fun and practical online workshop


Details
A dark pattern is a practice of interface design that supports the business needs at the expense of the user experience. Colloquially referred to as using UX for evil.
Join us for a practical online workshop with a twist - only 45 spots available.
You'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals around the world before sitting down to unique practical workshop lead by the DB Results Design Thinkers - Racheal Bunshaw, Renee Cook and Mitchell Martin.
You'll walk away from this workshop with the ability to:
- Recognise Dark Patterns;
- Understand how they influence users;
- How businesses (such as big tech giants) use them to drive desired behaviour; and
- How to avoid designing Dark Patterns.
You'll also get a chance to experience a new way of connecting virtually via zoom which we haven't experienced before at UX Psychology.
