Usability and Creativity

The era of the genius designer is no more. People (often still called “end-users”) are heavily involved in the making of new products and services, they co-create them, and want a say in their aesthetic and emotional qualities. Yet, people are also irrational beings and it takes quite a leap to translate our insights into their lives and needs, into successful and appealing products and services. What does usability mean in an era of co-creation? How to make products that people can engage with and that they can even change? If experience design is design for people’s experiences, how can the two components of this – creativity and user analysis – best be married?

You are invited to submit your paper proposal on these - not exclusive – related themes:

  • Emotional interfaces
  • Graphical attractiveness
  • Interaction design
  • Co-creation and usability
  • The esthetical value and usability
