YS Insights What is Sustainability? Sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time. In business and policy contexts, sustainability seeks to prevent the depletion of natural or physical resources, so that they will remain available for the long term. Sustainability is often broken into three core concepts: economic, environmental, and social 03
YS Insights Sustainable Design Sustainable design creates long-term solutions and helps societies ensure the well-being of their people and harmony with the environment for generations. Designers reduce waste by making products that are recyclable, compostable and even better - endlessly reusable They might also create a manufacturing process to reduce or remove carbon dioxide emissions. As the most significant challenge of our age, many of these designs relate to environmentalism or combatting climate change. 04
YS Insights What makes a product sustainable? A sustainably designed product or service is one that considers the entire lifecycle of the product during development, from manufacturing to disposal. A truly sustainable design is optimized for reuse. A physical product might use recycled materials, or be manufactured in a plant that doesn’t use fossil fuels to become more sustainable. A sustainable service should provide what the user needs while reducing the use of non-renewable resources. 05

YS Insights UX & Sustainable Design You can also use less energy in your website UX by lighting fewer pixels on a user’s screen through dark mode. Compressing and optimising dynamic content like video (large file sizes require more energy for hosting and playback), and lazy loading, which ensures non-critical content only loads when people need it. Not only does this help reduce carbon emissions, but it also makes for a better user experience. 08
YS Insights TOM JARRETT'S LOW ENERGY INSTAGRAM Interpret Instagram posts using image recognition to generate text-based representations. User's feed displays text-based content instead of an algorithmically ordered feed. Users have the option to tap and view content they are interested in. Users can view their energy/carbon meter depicted as a gradient bar on top of the feed. Initiate discussions within design and tech communities. Explore alternative approaches to Instagram's algorithmic feed. 09

Quiz on the misconceptions in UX.
NO, certainly not ! The infinite scroll is not a benchmark in designing a good browsing experience. Even the inventor of this practice confirms this! The infinite scroll allows the user to scroll the content of a page...endlessly (as the name may suggest). But on the user side, this can turn into a tedious experience and led to one thing: your visitor cannot find the information he is looking for.
False ... Everything doesn't have to be necessarily accessible from the Homepage Confronted with certain situations, individuals shall experience a significant "cognitive load". This means, the amount of sensory information that they can process in a given period of time is going to be surpassed. When too stimulated, the user is going to end up in a stressful situation which triggers thoughtless actions, unpredictable behaviors…
Nope ! The design should not be minimalist "Simplicity" aims to "reduce complexity", "Minimalism" is about "reducing the elements to the strict minimum". This variation is important! Not taking this into account can lead to many obstacles. Because favouring minimalism for the sake of simplicity often means running the risk of losing your user or not being understood by them.
Q4 AGREE DISAGREE
Disagree ! No, just because a user has more choices does not mean they will be more satisfied Giving choices to your users to give them some control is relevant and wise. As long as this is done sparingly and through common sense. Because giving many options without prioritizing these will increase the user's "cognitive load". You run the risk of paralyzing him in his decision- making process and maybe even creating frustration.
Blank spaces are not wasted space ! The design should not be minimalist In a page, blank spaces strengthen readability, help prioritize your content and even play a role in your brand positioning. As we saw before, everything is related to this famous cognitive load. The presence of blank or empty spaces helps us remain focused on precise information.
No !! You don't need an original design Users have developed interaction habits during their various browsing experiences. They refer to this as "affordance". Having accumulated these experiences, they know how to carry out a process or which button to click when on a new site or an unknown application, so they don't need any instructions to do so! Hense the user is already "educated". Using originality means confusing representations, forcing the user to think and often making him waste time in carrying out simple actions. However, when they are on your site, your visitor doesn't have much time to waste.
Nope ... ! UX designer shouldn't make my website intuitive One says that something is intuitive when it is understood at once. UX design, on the other hand, focuses on the user experience. One acquires this through practice ... So it's not the same thing! If UX Design is not an enemy of intuition, it isn't its first aim. Our main goal is to guide users while they browse the website, through pedagogy. Moreover, if its use is intuitive, now that's the frosting on the cake!
