The focus of the first brief\u2019s are to evaluate and research food and drink websites in order to eventually create our own. Using Miro, I have analysed two websites using user flows and have started researching elements of food and drink websites that I appreciate, <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

however in hindsight I do need to add more criticism to my annotations (but this is something I will add to my notes during the next week); moreover, colour coding my notes will be useful for quickly identifying the positive and negatives of my annotations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have also taken the time to read about the subject and have read a chapter of \u2018The Psychology of Everyday Things\u2019<\/a> by Don Norman, and further studied his \u2018Seven Principles of Design\u2019<\/a>. It was interesting to gain insight into how Norman believes that you should never blame yourself if you cannot operate a system, especially if you’re one of many people who have failed to operate it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Failures are an essential part of exploration and creativity. If designers and researchers do not sometimes fail, it is a sign that they are not trying hard enough<\/strong><\/p>
