The Philosophy
• Wikipedia Says:– “user-centered design is a design philosophy and a process in
which the needs, wants, and limitations of the end user … are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.“

The Philosophy
• Wikipedia Says:– “user-centered design is a design philosophy and a process in
which the needs, wants, and limitations of the end user … are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.“
• This isn’t quite true– To be truly user centric, the User Needs must be considered at
each and every step of the entire process.

• This isn’t quite true– To be truly user centric, the User Needs must be considered at

• User centered design starts at the very beginning, most abstract part of the project, and carries through every single part of the work.

The evolution of the brand – consumer dialogue
• Before the web, the conversation was with and through the distribution channel
• The focus was on the retailer
![Page 18: Focusing on the User - Business-Centered User Design](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/5555c8f1d8b42aaf158b4954/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The evolution of the brand – consumer dialogue
• One way conversation with consumers
• Space for consumers to reach back to brand
• The conversation begins, and Pandora’s box creaks open– Online help system
– Feedback forms
• Consumers got a taste, and loved it
![Page 19: Focusing on the User - Business-Centered User Design](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/5555c8f1d8b42aaf158b4954/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The evolution of the brand – consumer dialogue
• Brands can now interact with their customers, if they know how to communicate
• If they can’t, the conversation will happen anyhow
• It is crucial that brand understand how to engage and create time with their audiences

The questions that inform the process
• Whom do we talk to?
• How do we build connections with them?
• What is the best way to foster conversation?
