ucd brief [i] - product redesign report

user centred design is very much a conceptual module, covering various aspects of product development, user testing and evaluation. i thought that i had escaped this stuff after two years of it during product design, however it turns out that the topics which apply to interactive media are much more accessible (and enjoyable?) than those we covered for 3d products. the first brief required an understanding of requirements specifications, usability specifications, cognitive processes, low fidelity prototyping and how to apply norman's design principles.

because of all hours i've been putting into the pop factory website over the last couple of weeks, i didn't get down to starting the report until monday night - but once i'd got into it, is was fairly enjoyable: i found that a lot of the theory which i'd picked up from product design was also pretty relevant here, which was a big help.
