NYC-CHI is proud to present Jeff Johnson:

Web Bloopers: Avoiding Common Design Mistakes (~ 1 hr)
at the Remote Lounge, 327 Bowery between 2nd and 3rd Avenues in NYC
Wed. May 26
6:30-8:30pm - program begins at 7pm.
Free! No RSVP necessary!
-------------------------------------
This talk is based on the presenter's new book:  Web Bloopers:  60
Common Web Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them (Morgan Kaufmann).
The book explains how to avoid common Web design errors, illustrated
with examples from actual websites.  The talk asserts that the Web
is
not commercial product quality, largely due to poor usability.  It
describes a few bloopers in each category, and explains how to avoid
them. The talk is illustrated with many examples of bloopers in
commercially-available websites.
