Analyzing How Agencies Describe and Present UX
via cunningham-emily:
I’ve been poking around, looking at how different agencies describe User Experience (UX), and whether or not they call it UX explicitly. Though obvious to UXers, you can sure learn a lot about how an agency thinks about itself from its information architecture! I analyzed the information architecture and content related to describing UX for POP, ZAAZ, Razorfish, Forum One, and Neudesic. I’ll first list two summaries of my observations — one on hierarchies, the other on term usage — then I’ll do a brief walk through on each company with screenshots.

Adaptive Path launches an iPad app featuring “inspiring UX talks” from the last 4 yrs of UX Week. #downloaded
SENSORY-MINDS GmbH, in cooperation with “Montfort Werbung”, has developed the “Multitouch Experience Cube” - an eye-catching interactive trade show event installation. The walkable LED cube for the GRASS GmbH showcase has been the highlight at the Interzum 2011 trade show in Cologne, the international leading fair for suppliers to the furniture industry.
23 LCD displays attached inside the “Multitouch Experience Cube” formed a estimated 14 meter long multitouch wall. Inside visitors experienced a interactive product show controlled via iPhone app and moderated by a host. For this a interconnected real-time 3D rendering visualization including 3D Sound has been programmed in collaboration with “Realtime Department”. The application itself has been developed in Ventuz – a real-time 3D authoring software.
As a final touch a custom designed LED ceiling has been fitted inside the interactive installation. The 3D visualizations created especially for the LED ceiling reacted upon the visitors interactions with the multitouch LCD displays and intensified the unique spatial sensations inside the “Multitouch Experience Cube”.

How to Tell a UX Expert from a Novice
via constantx:
It makes more sense to call UX Designer “web designer”:
Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Usability, Interface Design, Information Design. All of these practices go into designing good user experiences, so are part of the user experience cannon. Experienced practitioners who have mastered many of these fields don’t really see a distinction between these.
But:
The problem arises when novice designers who have a fraction of the skills these experts have use the same title.
