- 19. UX Design – User needs – Personas • “A persona represents a cluster of users who exhibit similar behavioural patterns in their purchasing decisions, use of technology or products, customer service preferences, lifestyle choices, and the like. Behaviours, attitudes, and motivations are common to a "type" regardless of age, gender, education, and other typical demographics. In fact, personas vastly span demographics.” • Kevin O’Connor (2011)
- 20. UX Design – User needs – Personas • Have their foundation in real people and are derived from quality research • Never based on one individual. Created to represent a set of characteristics found across many. • Employed to better understand what users want to accomplish • Multiple personas required • Primary, secondary, negative
- 21. UX Design – User needs – Scenarios • A scenario describes the situation that brings the persona to the product, their interaction with that product and lead to how they perform a specific task
- 22. Task Develop a persona for one of your classes • Give them a name, age, gender, location • What is their motivation for studying accounting • What is their background (i.e. backstory) • Any prior accounting experience?
- 23. UX Design – Information Design Data are facts; information is the meaning that human beings assign to these facts. Individual elements of data, by themselves, have little meaning; it’s only when these facts are in some way put together or processed that the meaning begins to become clear. Wurman (1989)
- 24. UX Design – Information Design • Information anxiety is caused when: • We don’t understand the information • Feel overwhelmed by the amount of information • Don’t know if certain information exists • Don’t know where to find information • Know where to find it, but don’t have the key to access it • Girard and Allison (2008)
- 25. UX Design – Information Design • Information anxiety can be avoided if information is organised so that: • Easy to understand and interpret • Not overwhelming • Easy to locate / find and evident to users • Easily found (if user feels lost) • Clearly structured for ease of navigation • Accessible • Usable • Wurman (1989)
