Why personas work:§ People like having someone to design for:
meaning there is already a persona or two living in the head. Personas get this out into the open.
§ Personas inspire you to work towards one vision instead of many disparate ones

What are you lookinG to document
• Technological preferences, access and habits• Lifestyle details (careful to narrow in on those that are
important to the behaviors you are interested in interacting with)
• Clues into their struggles• Details of their context and circumstance• Priorities within the problem space (what hurts most/
most often)• Details around timelines, processes, handoffs and
collaborations involved in the problem space

Common elements of a persona:§ Name and photo§ Rough demographics, home life, work life, digital life§ Attitudes and Product/Service/Industry Related Feelings
Common pitfalls in photo and name selection: • Racially insensitive or inappropriate• Hot people• Stock photos or headshots• “That’s not so-n-so”• Team, classmates or customer photos or names

Narrating each persona’s experience§ Put on the shoes of each persona and describe the world they
experience today. § Write a story of what they see.
§ What do they wish was better? § Where would your thesis work fit into their life? § What would have to change in their lives to adopt what you are
proposing?

How to tell the story effectively…§ Capture quotes you think people would say or emotions you
anticipate they would have§ Try to write the personas in their words§ Grab screenshots, photos, audio snips and videos where you
can to show the experience through their eyes§ As you read your story, use visuals to support it§ To best avoid “marketing language” in their story, use first
person § Ask others for confirmation that the story seems realistic and
not over the top in either a positive or negative direction§ Break stereotypes don’t build them up.

Common Questions:

Framing a great conversation
30
Remember: Write a well formulated guide when
interviewing. Question Flow is important.
✓ Position - Establish where this person sits in the space you are exploring
✓ Convictions - Understand what they believe to be true and why
✓ Doubts - Understand what they have a hard time believing, what makes them nervous and why
✓ Color - Ask anything else that will help to color in their responses to their previous questions
✓ Questions - Always let them ask you questions. Sometimes the best stuff comes out from what they ask you

Prioritize People
34
• 20 minute ideation: Start with a fresh pile of post-it notes in front of you. Make labels for 5 piles. Make a Post it Note for EVERY* person or type of person you think of in each group– Users: People your products and services serve directly– Career Helpers: People who might help you in your career– Experts: People who are within the industry/market/field(s) that matter to your work– People who you seek to make proud– People who you shouldn’t care about the opinions of, but do.
• 45 minute group work: Get into groups of 3. Make a line on your table with tape. On one end of the line write “Most Important” on the other end of the line write “Least Important” -- talk aloud as you sort the first four piles onto the line, while maintaining groups -- resulting in a matrix. Discard last group (truly). This should take 15 minutes per person to get through.
*If there is an audience that your work is squarely not serving but could be mistaken to be serving or suggested to serve in the future, include that audience in this exercise.

Assignments

Blogging Assignment (due by noon tomorrow)Write about your Audience & Markets. Including:
• Your plans for researching and creating personas for the 3-5 users you prioritized highest
• If you have no experience researching them yet, write a question list of what you want to ask them and how you might go about finding them and getting time with them.
• If you have experience researching them, write what you know about them and a list of questions to get at what you don’t yet know.
Spoiler Alert: This will be a helpful part of your book’s chapter on Audience & Markets
