Enter to win a copy of Drawing Ideas and the chance to have your design challenge turned into a video tutorial.

About a month ago, we posted a video flip-through of Drawing Ideas: A hand-drawn approach for better design, the new book by Mark Baskinger and Will Bardel.

Now we’re teaming up with UI Stencils and the publisher, Watson-Guptill, to give away two copies of the print book and a UI Stencil.

Here’s what you need to do to enter:

Tweet a design drawing challenge tagged with @UXMag and @DrawingIdeas. It could be a request to learn how to draw something you’ve wanted to illustrate, or a design challenge you’re working on right now that you need some extra inspiration or insight to complete. Keep it design related! No seamonster requests please.

You can also like UX Magazine on Facebook and post a message to the UX Magazine wall (not your own wall) with your design challenge.

Another way to enter: via email subscription by visiting UX Magazine’s email subscription page, filling out all of the fields, and clicking “Subscribe to list.” Once you’ve subscribed via email, you can enter the contest by emailing your design challenge to [email protected].

The contest deadline is January 3, 2014 and the two most interesting (and fun) submissions will be illustrated by Baskinger and/or Bardel and posted here in the magazine. One of the winners will also have their design challenge turned into a tutorial video by the authors. Both winners will receive a print copy of Drawing Ideas and a UI Stencil.

AI can create wireframes, synthesize research, and draft copy fast. What it can’t do: understand your users, carry context, or be accountable when something goes wrong. That’s still you.

AI Is Your New Intern, Not Your Replacement
  • AI is not replacing UX pros; it’s automating repetitive tasks and augmenting human capabilities.
  • Think of AI as an intern: quick, smart, but dependent on human direction, context, and judgment.
  • Human skills like empathy, research, systems thinking, and ethical decision-making are more important than ever.
  • The future belongs to designers who incorporate AI to accelerate execution and devote more time to strategic, human-centered work.

The Agile Trap Designers Fall into: Feeding the Beast
  • Agile teams are fast, but designers get stuck in an infinite loop of visual work: redesigning the same components over and over instead of solving real UX problems.
  • Design systems break that cycle, defining the building blocks once, freeing designers to focus on how the product works, not how it looks.
  • When the basics are in place, teams can start working together sooner, prototype faster, and release incremental features without the interface falling apart.

Gamification 2.0. Beyond Points and Badges: Designing for Players, Not Metrics. Conclusion
  • Most apps use gamification as a manipulation layer to drive metrics, but people engage with things that are truly worthy of their time, not points or streak guilt.
  • Apps that people stick with do this by designing for intrinsic motivation, making the experience itself rewarding.
  • The true measure of success is whether users feel more capable, accomplished, and enriched for having used your app.
