But why? Not all design work is rooted in user research. Sure, there may be data of some kind to back up and inform design decisions, but this information doesn't have to come from people - it can come from activity research, for example. People in other disciplines design successful products all the time without studying specific audiences and without creating personas. Good design can also simply be the result of a good designer putting a good idea to work in a way that communicates and translates well. User research is not the ultimate solution for designers and never has been. (Forgive me if I'm assuming incorrectly that you think user research is always the way to go.) -r- ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
