In particular, Don Norman&#8217;s &#8216;The Psychology of Everyday Things&#8217; has been helpful. It has helped me understand concepts such as the separation of conscious and unconscious thought processes and the &#8216;stages of action&#8217; users follow when they complete tasks. These will be helpful as I continue to evaluate the TK Maxx retail site, redesign and iterate on certain aspects and then create my own website as part of project 3 in the following weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting Started The first week of Bsc User Experience Design has been a challenge.
