TOOLS
 

User Personas:

Allows you to search information from many people, and then get information about similar people to create a single character representing the group. People are created as a set to show the different types and needs. We use the word "Archetype" is a representative of an individual and not stereotypes general model.

This helps to segment users in a group. Personas can be done with different means (photos, illustrations users).

This allows to differentiate a product and not to produce mass. Consumers want to differentiate themselves, manufacturers of mini have understood since they offer their customer customizes their car (exterior color, interior, picture, pictures ...).


User Shadowing:

It is a method to understand how people act in the world around them. This helps to identify and understand their needs. Must target a person or group and / observe a given time (hours, days, months ...).

It really helps to identify barriers and opportunities in the life of a person. She has the opportunity to travel in a city, why she did not go there...

Understanding between what it "says" and "fact”. This method is carried out with a written report with photos, drawings ... made ​​throughout the observation. It is a method which is carried out for the forth from design.


User diaries:

It is a method for quality more personal information about consumers / people. This allows them to describe their own lives, what they do have a specific time of day. For example: 13 November I woke up and listen to the radio. It is like a diary.

This research must first collect standard information (name, age, hobbies ...), then give over a period of time can be a day, week, month ... depending on project needs. Finally add any responses participants. Then this basic information may be supplemented with questions. They can use pictures, video and a written description to document their responses.

The first key to success for this method is to identify the right people to participate in general a relatively small group is sufficient. This allows for more information on the needs, knowledge and understanding users' lives.
