Colours to use in a fashion website Having worked on several fashion sites the issue with black and white is that there is a strong chance that sites become samey. From a usability point of view this can lead to a lack of context for the user. The aim is to be legible and clear - past that it is down to the complexities that a good visual designer will understand and is a case for UX people to work with design specialists. |

Colours to use in a fashion website @Elmar It is possible to do UX without ever touching on visual design, especially if they are looking at UX as an end to end thing. If someone is doing visual design as well as UX then it's likely they're working on smaller projects with a small team. For medium to large projects it's better to get in specialists. |

'My Account' or 'Your Account'? I'd say my works well for a collection of things a user has created. But if it's dialogue with information being exchanged then 'your' makes sense. I have seen some examples where 'my' has tested better - can't find them at the mo. |

How to showcase UX work? Most of these are focused on visual design. A UX portfolio is often more or a story than a series of outputs. |

How to showcase UX work? I've found that a PDF version alone is enough. To avoid NDA issues I would not chance showing some of the client work in a public way but it is generic enough to share with selected people. |

Setting vs Settings? Which one makes more sense in a dropdown button Would profile or account be a better title? The things you are showing aren't really settings - they tend to be things that change the experience rather than account attributes. |

Designing UX for an In Vehicle Infotainment system So blutooth is out? That's the standard solution for local communication. Using the internet to talk to your car in the car appears to be a bit of a clunky technical solution. |

OS best user interface This is too broad a question. Depending on the user, their needs and what they are looking to do and their knowledge of the os then users will prefer to use any of these operating systems. |

Drag and Drop with scrolling on tablets That's how I would solve it as well. |

Best practices for menus/navigation in an online textbook? I would say you need to take a step back from the problem and look at how users use the content. Presenting a text book page by page on the web is not the best use of web. Providing hypertext, a good search, a way to get an overview and an index are all useful tools. In addition you need a way to navigate to the next and previous page, this is almost more vital than the left hand navigation. |

Brief and effective way to present usability study results Do you want a template, as in a set of layouts for a certain application, or do you want a structure. My suggestion is to ensure there is a summary at the end and a table that provides and overview - this requiring some kind of scoring system appropriate to what you are doing. |
