Urban Experience update

I’m happy to report that the Urban Experience group I started on Flickr back in May is slowly growing. The group now has 69 members who have posted 107 photos about urban experiences around the world. Though most of the photos focus on the design within spaces, some of the best shots, like the one above from my friend Wes Lindamood cover the design of the space itself. I’m hoping to see more of these types of photos as the group grows.

Thanks to all of the members for their contributions. If you haven’t posted any photos yet, I look forward to seeing and reading about your urban experiences soon.

Barclaycard reviewed in Forrester Research

Forrester Research recently released a report on Evaluating UK Banks’ Online Sales Efforts (subscription required). The report included a review of Barclaycard UK, the Barclays credit card site where I led the experience design.

Barclaycard and Lloyds TSB positively stand out by offering educational content as well as helping consumers make their decision. Barclaycard provides simple product comparison tables that focus on key card features and route users to the next logical step — either to a selection tool for those who still aren’t sure or integrated apply buttons for those who have made their decision and want to apply

Thanks to everyone who was part of the redesign and made this possible.
