In this talk, Roger Whitehouse will discuss aspects of working with users to evaluate and develop design solutions. He will focus on his experience working with the senses of touch, hearing, and smell that provide information in the environment along with the visual cues  which are normally thought of as the sole vehicle of graphic design.

Wednesday May 1st.
10:30 – 11:30am
Kellen Auditorium, 66 fifth ave.
