In Week 6 of the course, we dived right into the fundamentals of User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design.

This week is crucial for understanding the principles and concepts behind creating user-friendly and visually appealing digital experiences.

Human-centred design is an approach to problem-solving that focuses on understanding and addressing the needs, desires, and behaviours of the end users. It involves involving users throughout the design process, conducting research to gain insights into user preferences and behaviours, and iteratively designing and testing solutions to ensure they meet the users' needs effectively.

You must:

1. Focus upon the people
2. Find the right problem
3. Think of everything as a system
4. Always validate your design decisions

As designers, it is crucial for us to have a deep understanding of the diverse needs of our users. This includes considering various aspects such as visual preferences, auditory capabilities, verbal communication, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. By recognizing and addressing these different needs, we can create more inclusive and user-friendly designs that cater to a wider range of people.

We were given the task to design an interface on the Laws of UX by Jon Yablonski.

This isn’t my favourite design, as I didn’t really know what to do with the material. I like the colours I used, but overall, I think it looks quite boring.
