Benefits
Learn the purpose and value of conceptual design as the basis for a user interface. You will
see a completed case study and get hands-on experience with a user-centered conceptual design

Origins
Highly attended at CHI 98, this tutorial has been revised and expanded.
Features
- learn what conceptual design is and why it is important for good user interface design
- understand how an interdisciplinary team starts conceptual design by writing a central
concept, describing users and requirements, and defining user interface objectives and constraints
- create users' object and task models and maps of object and task relationships
- translate object and task models into initial user interface layouts
- assess the effectiveness of results by evaluating them against the objectives
Audience
Everyone who participates in user interface design activities, including developers, user
interface designers, human factors engineers, usability professionals, technical writers, users,
managers, and others. Appropriate for beginners as well as experienced professionals.
Presentation
Lecture with case study followed by demonstration, team exercises, and instructor-led group
activity and discussion.
