ux 101 - ways to a better next big bang
DESCRIPTION
A broad stroke presentation I gave on User Experience 101 based on Stephen Anderson's User Experience Hierarchy of Needs model. I have also included a simple development cycle which takes into consideration what users really need by focusing on ongoing evaluation of exploring, tweaking and testing the design until these needs are met.TRANSCRIPT
