Sessions at Future Insights Live 2012 about Icon Design

Wednesday 2nd May 2012

• Symbol Design and User Comprehension

  What is the point of using a symbol or icon if it doesn't communicate the correct information to your audience, or elicit the desired response from them? User comprehension is a critical aspect of symbol design, and allowing your users to be involved in the design process can help ensure your symbols are elegantly designed and deliver the correct information. In this session, Edward Boatman takes to the stage to lead the audience through the thinking behind the best use and design of icons and symbols, and the ways in which they can enhance the work that we produce.
