Solve Some Problems ๐งช
Talk to the Users ๐
So far you've tried to solve your problems. But designers working in the industry are focused on solving users problems. Users problems can be very different from our own!
Pick a category of users and an app they use โ example: Students using Google Meet or Old people using Whatsapp, etc.
Prepare a set of questions that can help you conduct a user interview, learn about asking non-leading questions
Pick the most common and interesting problems and create/modify designs to solve this problem
Build a prototype and see if you can observe at least 5 people from the target user group using it (you can use Zoom/Google meets with screenshare for this)
Document your observations and language customers use, and make modifications to designs
Repeat the process from 4 to 6 till you see evidence that you've solved the problem / or you conclude that this cannot be solved with design (both are fine, not all designs workย โย that's alright and part of the learning process)
