Funderstanding Of UXD

Let’s learn about UXD and here is the quick start!

I want to thank to Springboard for their way beyond successfully created learning materials. I enjoyed a lot while reading the documents and practicing the work. Below, I kept the short review if you like to see the big picture of UXD and get a taste of its process!

WHAT IS UXD?

The term “user experience” or “UX” might sound a bit complicated, but it’s simply the experience someone has when they use something, whether that thing is a product, service or system.

So, when we talk about “user experience design” we’re talking about the planning and depiction of what people will see, do, and feel when they use a digital product. UX design involves user research, information architecture, interaction design, usability testing, and visual design.

UI / UX and The Design Thinking Process

10 usability heuristics with examples

UX: User Experience is concerned with creating a simple, useful, delightful experience for the app user. UI: User Interface is concerned with the look and feel of an app. UX > UI. In other words, UI is a subset of UX.

The project design thinking process is a series of stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.

• Developing an eye for good design
• Design Thinking Process
• Research
• Personas
• Ideation and Sketching
• Design the prototype
• Test the prototype
• Implement

Research

User research is all about understanding a user’s needs and motivations. One tool related to user research is a persona. User research is a user centered design, and it is “The process of understanding the impact of design on an audience.”

• Understand the problem their product is trying to solve (What is at the root of this problem? What other solutions exist?)
• Understand the landscape their product exists in (What other products have been built to address this same problem? What did these products do well, and where did they fail?)
• Understand the user(s) of their product (What kind of person uses this product? What are their needs and motivations?)

Testing 101

Ask the Right Question, in the Right Way, to the Right People. The first questions to ask in user research: “Are we designing the right thing?” and “How do we design this thing correctly?”

Methods to use include in user research: moderated and unmoderated usability testing, prototype testing, card sorting, preference testing, A/B testing.
