- How people perceive information
- Limitations and capabilities of people
- Being a better expert evaluator
My goals for this assignment was to get more into depth of the theories behind usability. Already I had followed the User Focus Basics Design course and that have thought me how in the different stages of the design cycle you can keep the user in mind on a professional way. With this assignment I wanted to learn more on an academic level how already people behave by themselves and what aspects you have to keep in mind while designing, instead of finding certain problems while user testing. Having a better knowledge already of the limitations and capabilities of people can save a lot of user testing. This assignment gave me this knowledge but also how people perceive certain information and how I can make it easier for them to perceive. Although it was sometimes hard to get to the really theoretical parts, I’m satisfied to have this knowledge now to foresee usability problems.
