Study Notes
Design Thinking and User-Centered Design
- Empathy in Design: Focuses on understanding user feelings and needs when creating a product.
- User: Refers to anyone interacting with a product (e.g., software, hardware).
- Usability: Measures how easy, efficient, and satisfying it is to use something.
- Critique & Improvement: Analyzing a design from a user's perspective, recognizing improvements based on a user profile.
Iterative Design Process
-
Prototyping: Creating early models of a product for testing and gathering feedback before final development.
- Paper Prototypes: A physical representation used for early design testing, particularly useful for apps.
- User Feedback Collection & Analysis: Gathering and organizing feedback from user testing to refine design and improve the product.
- UI (User Interface) Design: Involves the visual elements of an application that users interact with. Prioritizing feedback is key.
- Generating Strategies: Developing diverse approaches to meet user needs.
- Selecting Strategies: Analyzing strategies to choose the most appropriate ones.
- Interviews: Collecting data to understand user needs in-depth.
Computational Artifact Design
-
User Profiles: Defining target users and their needs.
- Target Users: Describing the characteristics of who will interact with the final product.
-
Collaboration: Planning and assigning roles for teamwork in the project.
- Roles & Responsibilities: Defining individual tasks in a collaborative project.
- Digital Prototyping: Creating a virtual version of an application's interface for testing and feedback.
- Input Elements: Understanding the correct input elements (e.g., text boxes, buttons, etc.) for data capture.
- User Flows: Mapping the steps through which a user interacts with the application's functions.
Testing & Evaluation
- Identifying Features to Improve/Remove/Add: Analyzing user testing feedback to improve, remove, or add features to an app, based on testing results.
- Detecting & Responding to User Input: Creating a digital prototype that reacts to user actions.
- Analyzing and Prioritizing Feedback: Categorizing and assessing user feedback to prioritize improvements.
- Final Computational Artifact: Bringing together all the design components into a complete digital application.
