Seminarium 1, Textreflektion - Rickard Bergeling

A thought that occurred to me when reading the book, more specifically chapter 5, was that the notion of using personas for designing for different demographics is simply basing your design on prejudices. I believe that this could be a handy tool in the later stages of the design process, but that it should be strictly complementary to the rest of the research.

When it comes to our situation in the group project, I think that we should make a hunt statement that we can proceed from. We should also form a moderator script for the interviews.

After conducting the interviews, we need to structure the data in some way to get a good overview of what we have to work with, and to be able to distinguish patterns. However, since we do not have an office or a room which is dedicated to the project.  

Another reflection that I made while reading, was that there are a lot of different approaches to designing something. It also got me thinking about what method we are going to use in this project. I think that I would instinctively go for the genius approach and draw conclusions from my own experience within the subject. However, I don’t think this is the way to go about the task in this project, since we are focusing on museums and I don’t have too much experience within this field. I believe that a user-centered design would be more ideal in this case.



Question for the seminar: How can we pinpoint the faults in a system or where there is room for improvement if the user doesn’t experience any? Also, how do we identify a need or want in a user that the user themselves does not know they possess?
