Study Notes
Design Thinking Process
- The design thinking process consists of five phases: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
- It is a cyclical and iterative process that requires UX designers to revisit different phases as needed.
Prototyping Phase
- In the prototype phase, UX designers create a model of the product using various practices such as:
- Information Architecture
- Sitemaps
- Wireframing (paper and digital)
- Lo-fi prototypes
- Hi-fi prototypes
- The goal of prototyping is to have a model to test and gain feedback on.
Hi-Fi Prototyping
- A hi-fi prototype enables testers and stakeholders to simulate a realistic experience with the final product, providing richer and more detailed feedback for designers on every facet of the final product.
- It is an interactive model using a software program, allowing for testing and feedback on the product's usability and solution to the user's problem.
Testing Phase
- The goal of testing is to refine the prototype as designers gain insight into whether or not it solves the defined problem.
- Testing can be done on multiple prototypes, multiple platforms, or iteratively, refining the design based on user feedback.
- The final prototype is then provided to developers, who turn the design into the actual product.
Key Principles of Design Thinking
- Focus on the user
- Create solutions that address the user's problems
- Collaborate with teammates across departments
- Validate your designs
- Iterate as needed to design the right user experience
