I am glad that this empty window period, have the opportunity to follow my to-do list to do in different directions (product, design, operation, socialization marketing) study and try. The first idea was just to acquire a basic understanding of different fields, so he didn't force himself to specialize in skills. First, in order to be able to from the micro-perspective of different occupations in the Internet industry has a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of the other, but also to make up their own business discipline to bring the perspective of the limitations of it.
Last week participated in Guangzhou "Start community" organization's user experience course, was fortunate enough to communicate with the two team leaders of the Tencent CDC, listen to their human-computer interaction, user research, work experience and so on. I thought I was just getting started. But after the weekend's workshop F2F sharing experience and working with team members to complete design analysis, information framework, mission process recovery and improvement design for a particular App, really feel what it is to "get the end of the paper, Never know what to preach. " From reading articles to sharing participation in the field, perhaps this course reflects the progress of user experience design.
A course tutor is deputy director of CDC, Xi ' an Jiaotong University 07 industrial design graduates. Sounds like I'm not going to sigh about life: two elder sister husband and elder sister are early of his some of the Jiaotong University, leaving a trip to Singapore Shuo Shuoboliandu Read, one to Canada to read postdoctoral; Now a in the Internet industry hard business, one in the warm port do not ask academic breeding child. The same age of the Jiaotong University people, every important choice of life, the different nodes, the way forward is also farther and further. Academic or work, idealistic study abroad, or realistic earning, are all choices. But then, to the big company step by step up or up, with small team in the dark to walk, there is really no good or bad to the wrong points, each person value things are not the same, each other insist not.
A few years ago, when a man was looking for a job, he said he would not be biased to consider Tencent: too much perfection, but for a graduate with a good starting point and want to accept more challenges. Of course, if you want to start system learning from the children slowly progress, it will be a temple. Another course tutor has more than seven years of user research, focusing on the Internet crowd relationships, handheld devices, user insights, and other projects. Just a Tencent's job content and experience, the IT giant business process system, complete, professional visible.
Yesterday by a few notes and may not be reliable memory, timely comb and recover the course content, made a brain map. Before class, I read the entry-level (and even bugfixes) "Don t make Me" and "The Design book for Everyone", and benefited from the product of the male ticket of the people who have some common sense or aesthetic intuition of quality, But this does not replace or reduce the harvest of this course. One is the system, from the general to systmatic cognition; the second is interesting, through case analysis of the way to the humble design details in-depth thinking, experience interactive Designer's thinking perspective, this is the most valuable.
So my favorite part of the whole course was the section of the Mind Practice (the upper right corner of the brain map), although it may seem the simplest, irrelevant technical practice, or even a product design, it is easy to solve all the problems behind it if you can develop a reflex-conditioned thinking force (even if it can be generalized to other areas of thinking).
