University event offered by University of Reading
Short Session Delivered online
Sometimes design is so intuitive that we barely notice it. Other times it can feel like objects or systems are infuriating obstacles that get in the way of our daily objectives. UX design (short for ‘User Experience’) is about planning and making things that are useful to people, and perform the way humans expect them to. It’s a way of looking at design that is methodical, evidence-based, connected to human behaviour and more interested in being objectively ‘useful’ than subjectively ‘stylish’. Although the core principles of UX were first written down in the 1980s in relation to emerging digital communication systems, the roots of the discipline go back much further, and extend to all forms of design – not just making apps and websites. This lecture offers insights that can help you with your current studies, but also give you a gateway to the more advanced design thinking that underpins university-level study.
