Techniques
Personas as characteristics of archetypal users. UX designers aim to design the most appealing interface for one or handful of users. Personas are ficticious.
- reflect data found in user research
- focus on present
- be realistic not idealistic
- describe a challenging target user
- provide insight to users context, behaviours, attitudes, needs, challenges/ pain points, goals and motivation
task flows/user flows
Work flows visualise (flow charts) the stages involved in completing certain tasks (task flow) or the journey a user takes through the system (user flow)
Wireframes are first step towards putting all the user research, personas, workflows etc. into a visual format.
Aim is to experiment and test hierarchies and informed layout strategies. UX designers will always refer back to personas and workflows.
