The Craft of Content-first Design: A UX Writing Workshop
Details
Space is limited for this impactful and engaging workshop. Please be respectful of your fellow community members by only RSVPing "yes" if you can attend. Thank you - the SDXD Team!
“I’ll just put some Lorem Ipsum here and figure out the content later," said every designer at some point. Ditch the placeholder text and come learn more about what content-first design is, the impact it has on the success of your customers, and how you can incorporate this critical design skill into your everyday work. You’ll get hands-on experience wireframing and prototyping content-first designs, plus templates and tools you can take back to your own teams to start making content the first stop in the design process.
This workshop will cover:
-
How to use storytelling to inform the design and flow of a product experience
-
How to develop content-first wireframes and user flows
-
How to use a customer journey map through a content lens
-
UX writing fundamentals, including hierarchy, flow, and voice and tone
