Week 3- planning and conducting interview

 I have not completed my interview yet, but I plan on completing it soon and this is how I will go about planning and conducting it.

My planning phase would include me coming up with topic to talk about. For example, if a user is going to be interacting with a website. I plan on asking them do you believe the website looks good color wise? Do you think this website looks simple but efficient? Do you understand what this website is about?

If I encounter any challenges such as a user not being able to give me good advice then I will most likely ask someone else for a second opinion. I think a lot of people tend to just say "yes the website was good" so they don't hurt people feelings. This is why before I interview I'm going to tell them the website was not made by me so they can't think of hurting my feelings. 

Interviewing people is a good way to come up with design opportunities because people know what they want and most people are hardwired the same, so asking someone will help a lot to come up with better design.

If I do phase any problems I will come up with a plan to improve anything that is needed so the next interview goes well for both myself and the interviewee.

Week 7 Blog Post- final project

I currently am taking 3 classes and working my job as a youtuber everyday. My job requires me to playing 8 hours of a video game and streaming everyday and creating videos for that game every single day. The videos take a really long time to make because I have to brain storm the video ideas and spend hours playing the game to get the content then I have to edit the content which takes another few hours. Since I have to do all this work I can only work on my final project only 2 hours a day for the past week. My time management skills is the reason why I can even finish this final project. I have been looking at the Mercer website right now and analyzing it. Tomorrow I'm going to be creating a PowerPoint presentation for the website to help improve the page.

Week 4 - The Design of Everyday Things"

 I was born in India and I lived there for 6 years of my life and one thing that I have noticed is how crowded trains are in India. For example trains in India are so crowded that people literally sit on top of the moving train just so they can travel. I believe this to be a massive design flaw of the train. I believe if trains can eliminate first class cabins and replace them with normal cabin this will solve the problem of not enough being seats on trains. Another way this issue can be solved is by simply having more cabins and making the train longer this can easily be done but for some reason countries don't do this.

Week 2 Blog Post

 Website design is one of the most important factors in user experience. From personal experience if I see a website that looks horrible or is too complex I stop using it off the bat, and I believe most people are like this. People prefer simple sleek looking websites which is why websites like Amazon, Apple, and Facebook have the same simple design for their websites. It's because those websites work and people love it because of how simple they are. If I create a website I will make sure it has a very simple and clean design because of those reasons.
