Micro-Interactions using FramerX Athanasia Lykoudi
About the workshop:
Framer X is a powerful design and prototyping software, which you can use to build realistic interactive prototypes fast. It helps design with the idea of how your product will work in the end.
It is packed with advanced design tools that build interactions like scrolling areas, carousels, flipping cards, responsive elements right from the canvas. It also makes it incredibly easy to add complex user interactions in your prototypes, elevating it to the next level. Playground allows you to quickly test new concepts within the in-app code editor using ReactJS.
This workshop will teach you all about designing meaningful interactions in Framer X. It will briefly cover the basics of Framer X in creating high-fidelity prototypes using the powerful built in tools. There will be an introduction to code, the Framer API, and Framer Motion. You’ll learn how to create design and code components with detailed interactions, advanced animation curves and events.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to create animations and interactions in Framer X, using both its built in design tools and ReactJS code to improve your designs and prototypes.

Designing the Future: Design Thinking for Teens Elena Avatangelou, Yiannis Stilos
About the workshop:
How many times have you used an app that, although useful, feels like it was meant for someone else? How many times have you thought to yourself, “If I had designed this, I would have made it much better / prettier / simpler”? Designing a mobile app or a product is easy. Designing an interesting, fun, engaging app that speaks to its audience is not. If you put a teen audience in the equation, then the task becomes even more challenging.
Design Thinking is a methodology for creating new and innovative ideas and solving problems, that is applicable to all walks of life. It focuses on understanding the people involved, the unique circumstances tied to each situation, and coming up with creative, innovative solutions tailored to the actual user needs.
Our goal is to create future innovators by bringing Design Thinking into the teenage classroom. Through a hands-on, fun and interactive workshop, teen students can experience the “magic” of Design Thinking and design their own mobile applications, while also developing valuable skills such as empathy, the ability to collaborate, to deal with ambiguity, and, of course, to create.
Abraham Lincoln said, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Let us start by designing it!

Design Sprint Workshop Jim Tsipoutas, John Tzanakis, Stoiximan/Betano
Whether you’re working at a startup or a large organization, developing the right product or service for your customers is the key to success. We can’t afford to wait for a product to launch in order to understand if it’s the right thing to be investing time and money into.
A great product or a service is not just about visual design or its latest technology. It's the sweet spot of user desirability, business viability, and technical feasibility. This requires collaboration by different teams such as design, product, technology, marketing, compliance etc.. depending on the problem you are trying to deal with.
Invented at Google Ventures, the Design Sprint is a time-bound process that helps answer critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with users. It enables you to reduce the risk when bringing a new product, process, service, experience, or a feature to the market.
In this workshop, we will collaborate in designing and validating a business idea in one day.
After this day, you'll know how to: ● Shift your mindset to design thinking. ● Think strategically instead of tactically. ● Ask a lot of questions, identify problems, and turn them into constructive challenges. ● Use sketches to communicate ideas. You'll be able to draw eight sketches in less than 15 minutes. ● Collaborate with different people. ● Do a quick prototype in less than an hour. ● Run Usability Testing as one of user research methods.
About the team:
Jim Tsipoutas is a Lead Designer and John is a Scrum Master at Stoiximan/Betano.

UxD Workshop: A journey from user to final digital product – and vice versa Georgia Chatzi, Sofia Papadopoulou, Big Horror Athens
The modern branding question: is there UX without UI? Can great UX standalone in creating holistic consumer driven experiences in the digital world today? Visual designers know the answer is that one can’t survive without the other. The key to crafting a meaningful product experience is in marrying the two. When it comes to branding in the digital age, UX and UI form the basis of consumer impression. Modern businesses know positive ones go beyond a “wow” factor - translating to lasting engagement & repeat sales.
The challenge for today’s UI designer is to design beyond the “boxes” - combining time-tested UX principles with impactful design. Learning to shape UX through illustrations, photography, typography, space, layouts and color. As online commerce grows, digital platforms become the gateway for brand deployment & the buying process. The purchase process has been transferred to digital channels - forcing brands to greet, guide & convert customers entirely online.
So, how do they do that?
In this 6-hour workshop, we’ll do a deep dive into the construction of an e-shop homepage. From initial wireframing to the completion of a full e-commerce homepage design based on a visual design language.
We will also analyze basic UX principles, along with basic components of what it means to create a digital visual language. We’ll also demonstrate the art of telling a story to lead users to desired action.
Join us for a total exploration of digital design:
01. UX (e-commerce) process for beginners (3 hours) ● Intro to UX basic Principles: discover the foundation of good UX ● Design Wireframes for an eshop homepage based on content map We will be working in teams for a combined effort!
02. Make it fabulous! - UI / Digital Branding (3 hours) ● Intro to Digital Branding: what it is, why it matters & how to brand for the digital age ● UI Design of an e-shop homepage: based on the wireframes we created and a digital visual language that we’ll give to the participants Will be working in teams, again!

Practical User Experience

Practical User Experience Thanos Papavasiliou, Perfect Channel
About the workshop:
UX Design contains a lot of methodologies and principles that require a lot of hands, a lot of time and huge budgets.
Unfortunately, in the real world you are called to solve problems and provide answers in no-time and with tiny budgets, often being the sole designer in your organisation.
What are the most common UX methodologies, designers actually use? How do you choose the right methodologies every time? Is there a specific order? What tools do we need? Are you truly alone or can other - non-designer - humans participate?
We all want the same thing in the end. A beautiful, meaningful digital solution that people will be happy to use and remember while serving all the business goals at the same time.
To get there, someone’s got to do all the legwork first and in this hands-on workshop, that would be you! We’ll talk about all the above and put it to practice by designing a product together.
From idea generation to research, design and validation, at the end of the day, you’ll know how to cut through the bullshit and deliver real UX results, with limited time and budget.
