Design for User Experience, Steve Agalloco
User Experiencen. the overall experience and satisfaction a user has when using a product or system
User Experience is multifaceted!
User Experience is…-a multi-disciplinary process of design

A story…
Thirsty, vending machine
The solution?
Transparency
What is an experience?
Language for communication:Signs & LabelsAffordances
Experiences can bedesigned
Unconscious vs. ConsciousFocus on the problem;not on the solution
Redefine the problem
Observe,Listen,Trythen do it all over again
Do you want to knowthe weather? Or what to wear tomorrow?Or how long the commute will take?
Sometimes it’s worthGoing the extra mile
Be smarter than themachine
Remove unnecessarybarriers
Design for use
Only communicate what is necessary
