I’m glad that this module has given me a taste of what its like to embark on the design process and shedding some light on how it is far from easy. Though it’d be even nicer to see how industries execute this.
I honestly never expected it to be so much about ‘research’ – understanding the users; conducting evaluations after evaluations of the product.
And possibly the hardest two things about designing User Experience is marrying good aesthetic design with functionality.
I enjoyed the activities and assignments we had to do although they were challenging at times, but what we covered during lecture provided us with useful tools on understanding our users better.
I feel that I need to be more passionate about understanding users, because it really is something so tedious, time consuming and not always enjoyable especially when they don’t seem like a very interesting bunch.
However, I feel that we’ve only skimmed the surface of UX design and there still is a whole lot more to learn!
