Thoughts on Interaction Design: Chapters 3, 4, and 5

  • What information can ethnographic tools give you to improve the interactivity of an online banking website?
  • At what point is a design finished? What makes it a success? What is its purpose?
  • Identify a product family you use regularly. How has its branding effected your use, relationship and experience with the product?
  1. By using ethnographic tools one can gather information on what users of an online banking website do and why they do it. By learning more information about the website’s users one can easily make changes to improve the interactivity of the banking website.
  2. Design is finished when the product is ready to be marketed. Design is considered a success when the product becomes a functional advocate to humanity. Designs purpose is to “create usable, useful and desirable creations”.
  3. A product family that I regularly use are the Apple Iphones. The Iphone’s branding has helped attach me to the product due to the luxurious easy to use marketing appeal.
