WTD Episode 33: Simplified user interfaces, with Anton Bollen

One of the most challenging and frustrating things about being a
tech writer is managing screenshots in your product documentation.
How many times have you needed to take complex screenshots of your
product and meticulously marked them up with callouts only to be
told that a field has changed and you need to do everything again?
It’s so frustrating and demoralizing as a writer because it feels
like wasted effort. What if there was a way to create screenshots
that could withstand the rapid iterations of a product under
development while still conveying valuable meaning to your readers.
Today we’re joined by Anton Bollen from TechSmith who explains how
we can do this using low-detail screenshots, aka simplified user
interfaces, that let you focus your users' attention on just the
bits of the interface that matter.
