We tend to go into user journey mapping focused on finding pain points, to improve the design. This is good, reflects a desire to improve #usability. We should also identify bliss points, to know what’s brilliant, reassuring, very usable (if anything), so we don’t design it out.

Going through @CakeBitesize content training - some great practical tips e.g. on use of bold and tone - that I haven't seen so explicitly written down before (it's somewhat implicit in other style guides)

We’re no longer bitesize but the e-learning is still great! Reposting the Cake making machine GIF one more time for old times’ sake. 😊 #UCD #UX #ContentDesign #Content #Information #Usability #UserResearch #UserCentredDesign #HumanCentredDesign

Read user feedback on our courses. Our ridiculous ‘buy both’ offer is valid until 20 June. £47.50 for 22 modules of #UserCentredDesign and #ContentDesign e-learning. Then we’re merging them, and adding topics! The price’ll go up. Take advantage now? cakeconsultancy.com/feedback 🍰

£13.30 for 4 books is still a bargain at twice the price these days. 📚📚📕 Btw is there a way for people to return them to Wob, to keep things circular? I give mine to charity/station book swops anyway. Plus have also joined my new local library.

@Wob_group Hello, order number # WGB-2312-21049335 got sent to my old address and I won't be able to pick it up w/in the 18 days the DO will keep it so it'll go back to you. I'll reorder same books next year – feel free to charge me again as I fully support your great initiative!

If your government (national, local, whatever) or organisation (public, private, whatever) has ever made use of the GOV.‌UK Design System (code, guidance, whatever), please reply and let us know what impact it had. RT for reach? Thank you! 🙏

Chipping away at the content – rationalising, reducing, clarifying: this can be how #ContentDesign gets initial recognition within an organisation. Getting some really clear, user-centred content up and live can be of big value. Let's consider it #MicroContentTransformation.

this seems very bad for anyone that owns one of these bikes—you have to unlock it with the app! and unless something has changed, it's owned/maintained by an external vendor... who won't keep it up if they aren't paid

What makes an accessible, easy to read font? “Do have: • Tall x-height: the height of lower case letters like m, a, x, and r. • Height difference between ascenders and capital letters, so for example, capital "i" and lower case "l" look different…” gathercontent.com/blog/what-make…

Content usability basics module by @CakeBitesize 🍰 An intro to user-friendly web content. How clear language increases comprehension, why to use the active tense – and the importance of #accessibility, #inclusivity, #tone and #consistency. cakeconsultancy.com/product/conten…

Designing a high-converting form is not achieved by using float labels. It’s achieved by: 1) Asking minimal questions 2) Making those questions clear 3) Using simple interactions that users understand Prioritise the hard work over visual fluff.

@La_Pope @CuriousScutter Thanks Lauren – love working with you!

Do I know anyone who could offer #GraphicDesign work experience this July for a Year 11 student? She took Design GCSE early and will have just taken the Graphics GCSE exam. Absolutely loves it, work is of a high standard, is thoughtful in her process and has great initiative.

@libertybhow @gianncarloduran @ignaciaorellana Thanks very much @libertybhow!

@gianncarloduran @ignaciaorellana I echo the suggestion someone else made for @CakeContent_! I'm not sure if the Futurelearn/Government Campus course is still being run or not (futurelearn.com/courses/introd…) but I've heard great things about that one too!

Hello network and wider Twitter - can you recommend me a good intro course/training on #ContentDesign ? I’m aware of the ContentDesign London one but would be good to get a couple of options 🙏
