Getting Experience with User Experience http://t.co/S0JDstop Excellent advice about how to get into a UX career
- Getting Experience with User Experience - UX Booth | UX Booth
  
  If you're asking that question, then you're already on the right track. Many UX veterans have changed careers to UX and eased their way into the field. There isn't much of a clear path for those who are just starting out and have a formal UX related education.

There's no point trying to predict the future - the present is much more exciting. http://t.co/i6lvGks5
- The Future Is Now - But Not Everybody Knows It
  
  Getting a debit/credit card is a rite of passage for many young people - just like getting a driving licence or losing one's virginity - so it seems only natural that they should share that experience with their social circle. Cue a room full of lawyers facepalming and, no doubt, checking their children's Twitter feeds.

Fitting Big-Picture UX Into Agile Development http://t.co/bv8ngCDd
- Fitting Big-Picture UX Into Agile Development | Smashing UX Design
  
  The rapid pace of UX design in the agile world can lead to shortsighted design decisions. Focusing on addressing the immediate needs of particular user stories within the limits of a sprint can lead to neglect of larger design questions, which can come back to haunt UX designers later.

Never realised the graphic designer behind the Chupa Chups lollipop logo was Salvador Dali http://t.co/WCGARib6
- Salvador DalÃ's Real Masterpiece: The Logo For Chupa Chups Lollipops
  
  Salvador DalÃ, the wacky surrealist known for his signature pointy mustache and painting melting clocks, was also graphic designer behind the classic Chupa Chups--an enduringly sweet, bright rendition of a daisy.The Catalan lollipop made its first appearance in 1958, when the company founder Enric Bernat hatched the idea of placing a bonbon on a stick.

Style Tiles - an excellent way to communicate design ideas without full the need for full page mockups http://t.co/Yf3SdCIwta
- Style Tiles
  
  What are Style Tiles? Style Tiles are a design deliverable consisting of fonts, colors and interface elements that communicate the essence of a visual brand for the web. They help form a common visual language between the designers and the stakeholders and provide a catalyst for discussions around the preferences and goals of the client.
