Creating Wonderful Web App UX

How UX evolved from Disney(no seriously)Marty Sklar and the10 Commandments

Martin Sklar, Walt Disney Imagineering.

Don't bore people, talk down to them or lose them by assuming that they know what you know.

Insist that designers, staff and your board members experience your facility as visitors as often as possible.

Use good story telling techniques, tell good stories not lectures, lay out your exhibit with a clear logic.

Lead visitors from one area to another by creating visual magnets and giving visitors rewards for making the journey.

Make good use of all the non-verbal ways of communication – color, shape, form, texture.

Resist the temptation to tell too much, to have too many objects, don't force people to swallow more than they can digest, try to

stimulate and provide guidance to those who want more.

If you have a lot of information divide it into distinct, logical, organized stories, people can absorb and retain information

more clearly if the path to the next concept is clear and logical.

Clear institutional identity helps give you the competitive edge. Public needs to know who you are and what differentiates you

from other institutions they may have seen.

How do you woo people from all other temptations? Give people plenty of opportunity to enjoy themselves by emphasizing ways that let people participate in the experience and by making your

environment rich and appealing to all senses.

Never underestimate the importance of cleanliness and routine maintenance, people expect to get a good show every time,

people will comment more on broken and dirty stuff.
