(ContentDesk) August 13, 2005 — It’s the dog days of summer and there’s no better time to bring out the mangiest mutts of Web design for some good, old-fashioned obedience training. NEOUPA kicks off the new 2005 NEO User Design Experience series with a fun event designed to provide advice on how to improve usable design.NEOUPA has assembled a panel of local experts who will provide feedback on your own examples of atrocious graphics, baffling content and mysterious page organization / site structures. Individuals who bring the biggest dogs will be rewarded. If you’d like a chance to win a free iPod Shuffle, a $50 gift certificate to Blue Point Grille, or a $25 gift certificate to Borders, here’s what you need to do:* Register today at www.NEOUPA.org. * Prior to the meeting, email Jeff Janis (get email and additional details on www.NEOUPA.org) with your examples of page organization, structure, and graphics/multimedia. These can be challenges you are trying to solve at work, or examples you’ve recently encountered online.* Dog biscuits will be provided. (Yes, that means there will be cookies.)Important stuff: Winners will be selected based on both the severity AND complexity of the issue. Anyone who brings the daily sucker from Vincent Flander’s site is automatically disqualified.
