Happy World Usability Day 2012!

Today is World Usability Day, which exists to bring attention to the importance of usability and the role it can play in making a better world.

The theme this year is “usability of financial systems.” To celebrate, here’s a comic I created for the guys over at UX Punk for a campaign they’re running at the moment.

It may resonate with some of you!

Sam hits some hurdles while trying to improve the usability of a financial system for a client.

Incidentally, the campaign includes a fantastic offer they’re calling the triple treat: over $1,100 of credits to use on their excellent usability testing tools—WebSort and PlainFrame—all for just $300. The deal is for a limited time, so get in quick.

I hope you guys like the comic. Let me know what you think in the comments!
