About this Event:

Hosted at Ravensbourne University in North Greenwich, Digital Influx presents an event on the most impactful subject on the Future of Design; ‘Dark UX’ – The Exploration of Digital Evolution.

Dark Patterns are deceptive UX/UI interactions, designed to mislead or manipulate users through their day-to-day lives. Essentially, it is any design elements that subtly pushes the user in a certain direction — a direction that they may not want to take. This could be adding unnecessary extras to their shopping basket, unknowingly subscribing to a newsletter or handing over personal data.

Following feedback from our previous events, Dark UX is one of the most anticipated and debatable subjects within the digital world of 2020. Our speakers for the day will talk about the affects of Dark UX and how introducing UX as a subject into the education system can positively affect the growth of the digital economy.

This talk aims to generate awareness of the negative impacts and unethical use of digital services/ products and how we can aid a future generation to lead systematic change globally.
