What I Already Knew:
- UX is a group effort. Uses design, business, and technology.
- Structure: focuses on the overall organization and architecture of the project, identify and define the systemic structure and finality
- There are methods to design thinking which are
- Observe and empathize
- Explore and create
- Build and deliver
- Iterate and improve
What I Didn’t Know:
- Five dimensions of interaction design
- Words (content)- easy to understand, written to effectively communicate information
- Visual representations- diagrams, illustrations, graphics, and even typographic styles and media to clarify data and concepts
- Physical objects or space- the physical hardware, such as keyboard, mouse, or smartphone and the space necessary to use it
- Time- the time during which people interact with the product and how they might measure their progress
- Behavior- the actions, reactions, and emotions people have when interacting with a product
- Scent of information: derived from information foraging theory, this is how people can predict what they will find if they follow a path or flow through a product
- Structure has three levels:
- Product- overall architecture defines all of their sections, the purpose of each, and navigation and connections among them
- Screen- what should be where on each page or screen, what appears on all or multiple screens, placement can communicate importance, relationships, and functionality
- Component- define the content and interactivity of individual elements on the screen like text, media controls, or navigation systems
