We’ve discussed various design processes such as design thinking and design feeling, but we have yet to discuss the design process that focuses on the user from beginning to end. While this may seem silly to state, often time the design process is focused on trying to convey a certain message or goal, and the way in which the user can interact with that sometimes falls secondary. This isn’t for lack of interest in the user, this often time happens because the design process is fueled by peoples creative ideas and creating emotionally meaningful concepts. So how do we effectively tighten the reins on this creative process to make sure that the user remains the focus?

Call to Action for Effective Call to Action Buttons

Call to Action buttons are something we often use and implement but, we rarely talk about what exactly makes them effective or ways to improve them. To start off, call to action (or CTA) buttons are buttons that are used on websites, apps, or landing pages that’s goal is to help guide users towards completing the task you have set out for them. CTA buttons are the buttons that your user needs to click in order to take the action you want them to take, whether it be signing up for your newsletter, or completing a purchase.

Affinity Diagrams and Clustering

A few weeks ago we explored the concept of Design Thinking and how that can be carried out in order to better understand a users pain points and learn how to effectively address them. During the design thinking process, there is a brainstorming phase in which all the ideas surrounding user opinions, user needs, and design issues are brought to light. This can be a pretty overwhelming portion of the design phase, and brainstorming is something that can occur even outside of the design context. However, brainstorming can often become cluttered and overwhelming if there are too many ideas being thrown around. So, how do we organize all the great ideas we have so that we can figure out the best ones?
