Everett McKay

Principal, UX Design Edge

Author, UI is Communication (Morgan Kaufmann, 2013)

Join the Triangle UXPA on Tuesday, February 4 for a talk by Everett McKay at TEKSystems in Raleigh. Registration is free for this event. Pizza and drinks will be provided by TEKSystems.

Two attendees will win a free signed copy of Everett's book UI is Communication!

About the Talk

A user interface is ultimately a conversation between users and technology, so well-designed user interfaces use the language of UI to communicate to users efficiently, naturally, and intuitively. Focusing on effective human communication removes much of the mystique, subjectiveness, and complexity from user interface design, and helps you make better design decisions with confidence.

In this talk, Everett McKay presents the core principles of communication-focused design, shows how they apply to intuitive interactions and task flows, provides some communication-based design tools and techniques, and applies these principles and tools to several design makeovers. In the end, you will have a new perspective that will help you make better design decisions more quickly and confidently.
