Process
Originally posted on May 11,2010
Recently I’ve been asked about my process when approaching a project design.
Abridged Version:
Get to know your client and their business objectives
Get to know the client’s audience
Immerse yourself in objective research so that you can define and back up your understanding of their product, including technical constraints and abilities
Come up with an interaction design model and, in the case of a website, a comprehensive sitemap and storyboard
Come up with at least 3 visual design directions
Build out design, while maintaining communication with your client/stakeholder
Most importantly, deliver with your integrity in check
Execution throughout all the steps are more involved and painful, but for the sake of simplicity, this is the general process I follow.
What’s yours?
