Accessible in Pink
Our senior designer's trendy young colleague relays the UX Director's brief that the new app must be accessible.
Our senior designer reminds her that, "We use semantic architecture, ARIA controls, clear typography as standard and…". His colleague cuts him off short. "I was thinking more of something in pink?" She replies indignantly.

User testing
It's user testing day. Our senior designer introduces the tests to the recruit. "We're not testing you. We're testing our concepts." The recruit responds quickly with, "I don't like them."
Our senior designer reflects aside, "I need to review my recruiting procedures."

What does the UX designer do, exactly?
The stern Program Manager invites our senior designer into his office. "So, what does my new UX Designer do, exactly?" He asks.
Our designer replies with all that's good about user experience design to achieve our users' goals and to achieve a sense of delight.
The Personal Assistant slides in and whispers in the Program Manager's ear, Ask if it makes the coffee?"

Despatch
Our senior designer has been busy and reports back to the slightly psychopathic UX Director. "I sent the client proposal by email, private message, bullitin board, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, surface mail, and motorcycle. Did I forget anything, Sir?"
The Director stares back menacingly, his clawed hand stroking the throat of a pigeon like a super-villain petting his cat.
