March 27, 2008toMarch 29, 2008

The 2008 UCDA Design Summit will be a focused, energizing opportunity to take design process to its peak. It will explore design and branding, in electronic and print applications, both inside and outside educational institutions. All creative, marketing, and communications professionals are invited to discover ideas in branding while inspiring creativity.

One session is on User Experience Fundamentals. If branding is the theoretical explanation of how audiences relate to brands, user experience is the practical application of that theory. Think of your communication process from initial introduction of your brand to discovery, fulfillment, and follow-up. Are your audiences having intuitive and satisfying experiences when dealing with your brand? This session will introduce the basics of UX (User Experience) and how these concepts apply to education.

The University & College Designers Association (UCDA) exists to promote excellence in visual communications for educational institutions.
