Week 6 Reading Questions

  1. Ethnographic tools such as observation or user testing can improve the interactivity of an online banking website. Data could be gathered as to what is looked at most frequently when accessing banking information and then this data can be used to provide a easy-to-use website.
  2. As discussed in class, there is no correct answer as to “when a design is finished”. However, it can be said that you can always add to an idea, an idea itself is a finished design, or maybe a deadline makes you ‘end an idea’, but in reality a design is never finished.
  3. A product family that I use regularly is Apple. I use their phones, computers and even Apple TV. Its branding has affected my relationship and experience with the products in a positive way I would say. I love how simple Apple products are and how simply elegant they are design-wise. Apple has provided so many clean-looking products aesthetically that run smoothly and in my opinion have set the curve for technology in the past two decades.
