Brown Bag Lunch: Refactoring UI
In UI design, little details go a long way. In this talk, Steve will take poorly designed UIs and will refactor them while explaining some of the crucial concepts of UI graphic design.
Steve will be looking at some of the more common problems faced by designers, showing what difference a few small cosmetic changes can do to bring a design to the next level.
About Steve Schoger
Principal at Duke Street Studio
You can’t judge a book by its cover? A picture is worth a thousand words? Looks can be deceiving? Hmm. None of those familiar old sayings quite capture what this intro needs. Let’s try this new one: Never let bad visuals ruin great design. Yeah, that’ll work, as it captures the essence of what Steve Schoger brings to the world.
Steve is a multidisciplinary designer from Kitchener, Ontario where he runs Duke Street Studio, an independent design and illustration studio. Steve began designing for the web in the early 2000’s; the internet wasn’t very pretty back then and he wanted that to change. He doesn’t like to see frustrated developers, so he learned how to code to better understand how to make their lives easier.
Steve is one half of Refactoring UI a project started to help developers get better at designing awesome UI’s. Through a series of blog posts, screencasts, and Twitter tips, the duo have demonstrated that design can be taught with tactics instead of talent.
Outside of design, he enjoys music production, travelling and ice cream. He eats way too much ice cream.
