Study Notes
User Centered Design
- A design approach that considers the user in every step of the design process.
- It ensures that the final product meets the user's needs.
-
Characteristics of User-Centered Design:
- Design Doesn't Assume: Design should not assume the presented problem is the actual right problem to solve.
- Starts With Understanding People: Focus on understanding the people using the product before starting the design process.
- Iterative Process: Design is an iterative process, meaning it involves continuous cycles of feedback and refinement.
Universal Design
- Designing products that can be used by as many people as possible, in as many situations as possible.
- An inclusivity approach that focuses on making products and environments accessible to everyone.
UX Design Thinking
- The designer is responsible for creating a system that is easy for users to understand and operate.
- It is not the user's fault if they cannot use a system, but rather the designer's responsibility to make it user-friendly.
User-Centered Design Process:
- To reach a wider audience, consider these questions during user research:
- User Impairments: Do users have temporary, situational, or permanent impairments to consider?
- Technology Familiarity: How familiar are users with technology?
- Access Method: How are users accessing the product or service?
- Access Location and Timing: Where and when are users accessing the product or service?
Seven Principles of Universal Design:
- Developed in 1997 by a group of experts led by Ronald Mace.
- Equitable Use: The design should be useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.
- Flexibility in Use: The design should accommodate a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.
- Simple & Intuitive Use: The design should be easy to understand and use, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or concentration level.
- Perceptible Information: The design should communicate necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.
- Tolerance for Error: The design should minimize hazards and adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
- Low Physical Effort: The design should be efficient and comfortable to use with minimal fatigue.
- Size & Space for Approach and Use: Appropriate size and space should be provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use, regardless of the user's body size, posture, or mobility.
