Design Briefings
Format
Prepare an 8-page description of the design briefing in the
Conference Proceedings format.
This description will be published in the
CHI 96 Conference Companion if the design briefing is accepted.
Information that may typically be relevant for a design briefing includes:
-
A statement of why this interface is notable, with screen pictures
(or other illustrations or samples of the interface) pointing out those
major features that will be demonstrated in the design briefing.
-
A list of the major design issues faced during the project with
screen pictures or other illustrations of the preliminary designs.
Discussions of design trade-offs and process innovations are particularly
appropriate.
-
Brief reports on usability evaluation data or anecdotal evidence as to
how both the final design and the preliminary designs work in use.
Also prepare one or two pages for the design briefings review committee
with information about the presenter's background and involvement in
the actual design project. If several presenters are involved, then all
presenters' backgrounds and project involvement should be described.
