NB: I put a link to my credentials, because I don’t see much point in posting the story before it has been published.

Could someone explain to me the process of submitting a story to B&A?

I was assuming I’d write the idea here, and someone from B&A would say ‘no’ or ‘let’s have a look at what you have written’. How do I know that incorporating the feedback here into the work will actually be worthwhile in terms of the article getting published on B&A?

Or am I missing something? :-)

Hi Gagan,

Certainly sounds like a good idea. Flick me an email from http://www.abitcloser.com/portfolio and we can have a bit of a chat.

Cheers,

Ross

An interesting article, not sure I am on-board with all of it. But allow me to join in the existentialist banter and note the following:

“When all three perspectives (do, say, make) are explored together, we are able to realize the experience spectrum of the “normal” user/customer we are working for.”

Actually, there is another (and arguably) more important perspective and that is how a user *feels*.

I’d also be careful with the cleaving off of design and planning. Design has always been about experience, visual design is just a part of it. Design vs Planning is another interesting discussion that would be worth exploring.
