Faster Horses | A podcast about UI design, user experience, UX design, product and technology
Faster Horses | Paul Wilshaw & Mark Sutcliffe
Brighten your day – learn about user experience, design, products, gaming and technology. With entertaining and funny chat that goes off on unexpected tangents about life, everyday pain points and hilarious solutions.
80% random, 20% user experience (UX) and user interfaces (UI)*
Your hosts Mark, Nick and Paul discuss a different subject around design, UX, UI, business and technology, with the occasional special guest thrown in for good measure.
Ironically as Henry Ford almost definitely did not say: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” – we try and put the user back into the experience.
Learn from industry leaders about their experiences and how to deal with them.
We'll dip into the UX tombola to pick out a random hot topic to discuss, poke and prod.
Saddle up and join us for the wild ride of humour, experience and sound-proofing cushions that is Faster Horses.
*may contain nuts and the odd bit of swearing – sorry (not sorry!).

What are semantic colours and how should we use them?
Faster Horses | A podcast about UI design, user experience, UX design, product and technology
03/26/22 • 17 min
In this short, Paul Wilshaw takes on the subject of colours, their use and accessibility.
The way you can think about this in every single colour in your design system should have a definition. What does it do? Exactly the same as a button or an icon or some other piece of design colours should do exactly that same thing. And why do we do this? Because colours are used, and with accessibility and colours, they shouldn't be used on their own to define things, but colours do have the impact – the same things as tone of voice or repeatable and functional things that help users to navigate your app, your website, your service, or whatever you're doing.
Colours shouldn't just be abstract, they need a purpose and need to have their own use and place.

What should go into a design system?
Faster Horses | A podcast about UI design, user experience, UX design, product and technology
09/06/22 • 72 min
Design systems have become a key part of user experience, design and development, but what should it consist of?
We have a good old poke around, question atomic design, figure out audiences and how to effectively communicate what the core concept of design systems are, why we use them and is Brad Frost right.
Should print and digital guidelines fit into a single system?
We chuck in the patterns and chuck out the chintz, with topical tangents, wrapped in the UX of a squidgy scotch egg.
