Masking. Isolating. Breaking. Shapeshifting.

These UX mistakes lead to unnecessary complexity and user frustration, yet they're ubiquitous and insidious. You'll see these mistakes in products created by Google, Apple, Instagram, Airbnb and some of the biggest most "design-friendly" companies in the world. And if you are not paying attention, they are likely creeping into your design work, too.

Here’s the good news, they are super easy to fix—as long as you know how to recognize them! Join Lead UX Designer and OOUX Evangelist, Sophia Prater, to unpack several examples of masked, isolated, broken, and shapeshifting digital objects and how to make sure they are clear, connected, actionable, and recognizable. You will learn create systems that are easier to design, easier to build, and easier to use.

I signed up for a Master Class webinar which aired recently, but I cannot find the recording in my email inbox. What can I do?
The email with the recording is sent automatically to all registrants. However, because it contains links, it might get blocked by your spam filters.

I missed registering for some of the Master Class webinars hosted in previous months. How can I get access to them now?

I’m a member, but I cannot see all the Master Classes I purchased on my profile. How can I find the ones that are missing?
Many of the past Master Classes have been edited and uploaded to our platform so that our members can view them conveniently in one place.

After each Master Class broadcast, our video editors painstakingly edit, improve and enhance the quality of these recordings to give you a better experience—but this process takes time, and that’s why there’s sometimes a delay in making them available within your profile.

Until recent Master Class recordings appear in your profile, you can always playback any of the Master Classes you’ve purchased using the Zoom recording links you received after the broadcast. Can’t find these recording links? Then please email mads.soegaard@interaction-design.org for assistance.
