When I’m confronting a new design problem or thrown into a situation demanding some deep interaction design analysis, I consult a set of starter frameworks<\/a> that I’ve evolved over the years to help me gain a firm initial footing. They also help me prepare a set of initial questions to help me interpret the situation. These frameworks succinctly identify the essential issues, focusing on the activity<\/strong>, the experience<\/strong>, and the value<\/strong> thereof. <\/p>\n

\n

** The Activity<\/strong>: For example, “Doing a conference call with colleagues at the office” or “Editing photos at home, to share with grandparents”. An activity is typically shaped by three key elements: people<\/em> (the actor performing the activity, as well as residual\/contextual participants, their intent\/motive\/expectation, etc.), place<\/em> (the primary scene of activity, both physically & digitally & even cognitively), and information<\/em> (the material — content and functionality — that’s being engaged with, at the center & periphery of the activity’s successful completion). <\/p>\n

** The Experience<\/strong>: What’s the quality of the encounter? This is typically shaped by the visceral expression<\/em> of the material engaged with, a sense of empathy<\/em> for the actor’s experience (assumptions\/expectations in particular), and of course the emotional<\/em> aspect on the activity’s participants in an affective manner. <\/p>\n

** The Value<\/strong>: Finally, what’s the resulting value? Value is an admittedly overused term, suggestive of corporate buzzwordism. But in terms of design, “value” is a critical, even the most paramount, issue of all. I believe value arises as an emergent quality of effectively mediated conversation<\/em>, well-crafted embodiments<\/em>, and a meaningful engagement<\/em> that establishes a relationship.<\/p>\n
