Good product design rests on the foundation of user-centred design, which means it always keeps sight of the users&#8217; wishes, needs, demands. User-centred design is to\u00a0<em>design for\u00a0<\/em>the user.\u00a0It is true that technological specifications may influence the design space, but in this module we are looking at designing\u00a0<em>bespoke\u00a0<\/em>interventions where this is not so much the case.<\/p>\n<p>Story boards can be seen as part of the\u00a0<em>preparation work\u00a0<\/em>necessary before starting on any detailed designs or prototypes. Story boards are telling a story of\u00a0<em>how\u00a0<\/em>this digital product of yours will eventually be\u00a0<em>used<\/em>. However, it also outlines a rational for\u00a0<em>why\u00a0<\/em>it would be used.<em>\u00a0<\/em>Story boards depend on articulation of the use context, so <em>where\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>why\u00a0<\/em>the practice you encourage is performed. Then, story boards detail a\u00a0<em>story\u00a0<\/em>of use. Here, a\u00a0story is comprised of a sequence of events of use that coherently explain what\u00a0practices\u00a0happing when and in which order. Above all, stories\u00a0assume the\u00a0<em>interactions <\/em>in the story\u00a0have a\u00a0<em>purpose<\/em>\u00a0for the user<i>,<\/i>\u00a0a desired <em>outcome\u00a0<\/em>without which the story would be incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an excellent example from a student team on TCP2031 2016\/17. Please note that the story board will develop alongside to your creative proposition and it may thus be updated, refined, polished, until you arrive at a final version.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-801\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/digicivics-at-apl\/files\/2016\/08\/storyboard_example.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"781\" height=\"981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/digicivics-at-apl\/files\/2016\/08\/storyboard_example.jpg 781w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/digicivics-at-apl\/files\/2016\/08\/storyboard_example-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/digicivics-at-apl\/files\/2016\/08\/storyboard_example-768x965.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Design processes can be messy and unstructured and that is particularly so in the fast-paced digital industries, where requirements, user expectations, technologies may turn over quickly.
