Study Notes
UX Fundamentals - Identifying UX Methods
- UX artifacts are deliverables that capture design decisions and insights for user-centered products or services
- UX artifacts visually represent the design process and facilitate communication and collaboration among stakeholders, designers, and developers
- Screens are visual interfaces used by users to interact with products or services on digital devices
- Designers define information hierarchy and organize design to guide user attention, position critical data in visible areas, and use headings to relate similar elements
- Prototypes are functional representations of a design concept that allow exploration, testing, and validation of ideas before significant investment in development
- Prototyping can range from low-fidelity to high-fidelity representations, depending on the level of detail and functionality needed to effectively communicate the design idea
- Prototypes are cost effective, allow for rapid iteration and exploration of alternatives, helping identify potential issues in the concept
- Prototypes facilitate informed decisions, leading to more successful end products
UX Artifacts - Creating Screens
- Screens are visual interfaces used by users to interact with a product or service
- Screens follow ordered steps in a design process, starting from conceptualization to progressively detailed representations used to visualise design ideas before implementation
- Sketching allows for quicker exploration of design ideas
- Wireframing delivers medium fidelity visual representations to demonstrate the structure, layout, and content of a user interface without graphic details, establishing information hierarchy
- High-fidelity representations closely resemble the end product, capturing visual details, interactive elements, and design specifics to realistically mirror the user experience
Types of Prototypes
- Low-fidelity: Basic representations using readily available materials, tools, or techniques. These are quickly made to explore design concepts and get user feedback
- Examples: Paper interfaces, sketches, building block prototypes, live actions, borrowing and recombining, role-playing
- Medium-fidelity: More refined representations, including visual design elements, interactive aspects, and some functionality. Used for user testing and feedback
- Examples: Mockups, 3D printed/foam models, splash pages, wireframes
- High-fidelity: Highly detailed interactive prototypes that mimic the final product with realistic functionality. Focus on features and exact details that precisely align with the final implementation
- Examples: Clickable prototypes, pixel-perfect mockups, functional software prototypes, AR/VR prototypes, responsive web prototypes, hardware prototypes
Prototyping Methods
- Ideation: Generate ideas and inspire others through the prototyping process
- Exploration: Explore multiple approaches through rapid prototyping
- Validation: Verify a design's effectiveness and functionality for problem solving
Mapping
- Visual representation of information, relationships, or user experiences to inform the design of practical solutions
- Visual mapping helps to identify opportunities and optimize user flows, aligning experiences with business goals
Journey Map
- Graphic representation of a process or experience that visually depicts the user's journey over time, actions, thoughts, and emotions
- Helps to identify gaps, opportunities for improvements and align the product or service with needs
Empathy Map
- Valuable tool for understanding user's needs, thoughts, and behaviors
- Illustrates different aspects of a persona to foster empathy and user-centric solutions
Ecosystem Map
- Illustrates complex relationships between people, systems, services, and channels within a broader context
- Broader understanding to identify potential gaps and strategic decisions
