Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Video of the Week: Josh Clark–buttons are a hack

At Direction 16, coming up in he middle of November, we’re really fortunate to have a number of our most popular speakers from the last decade returning to help us set a course for the next.

So in the coming weeks we’ll be reprising some of the most engaging presentations from recent years, including many form last year’s Web Directions.

We’re kicking off with Josh Clark, who’ll be back to open Direction ’16, and deliver a masterclass. Back in 2013 he delivered the classic “buttons are a hack”, still highly relevant, as it challenges us to rethink the metaphors we use when designing interfaces, which often constrain the solutions we develop.

If you’re anywhere near Australia, why not get along to Direction 16, and Josh’s masterclass “Designing exceptional mobile experiences“?
