Interaction Design - Chp 2

Front 1

Core Questions in understanding the problem space and conceptualizing design

Back 1

1. Are there problems with an existing product or user experience? If so, what are they?

2. Why do you think there are problems?

3. How do you think your proposed design ideas might overcome these?

4. If you have not identified any problems and instead are designing for a new user experience, how do you think your proposed design ideas support, change, or extend current ways of doing things?

benefits of conceptualizing the design space early on

Back 2

a. Orientation – enabling the design team to ask specific kinds of questions about how the conceptual model will be understood by the targeted users.

b. Open-mindedness – preventing the design team from becoming narrowly focused early on.

c. Common ground – allowing the design team to establish a set of common terms that all can understand and agree upon, reducing the chance of misunderstandings and confusion arising later on.
