Description:

We have all had the experience of working with a variety of projects and have a different framework for approaching how to resolve a design issue. I would like to collaborate to create a blog, article, or book, on the pros and cons as well as considerations across the Visual Design, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Usability, User Research, and Content Strategy areas around common design patterns.  Read a preview of this workshop on the UXPA Blog!
