Hi. In this video,
2
00:00:02,835 --> 00:00:05,220
we're going to explain
user-centered design.
3
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:06,630
Why is it important that
4
00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:08,700
designs are centered on the user?
5
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:11,745
Because the user buys
and uses your product.
6
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:14,520
In addition, it's also
important to solve
7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,355
problems that people
actually experience,
8
00:00:17,355 --> 00:00:19,080
rather than only trying to solve
9
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,285
problems you personally experience.
10
00:00:21,285 --> 00:00:23,445
Focusing on real user problems
11
00:00:23,445 --> 00:00:25,980
reduces the impact
of designer bias.
12
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:28,875
Larry Page, one of
Google's founders,
13
00:00:28,875 --> 00:00:32,055
highlighted just how important
user-centered design
14
00:00:32,055 --> 00:00:33,930
is when he said,
15
00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:36,020
"There is no substitute for
16
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:40,100
personally watching and
listening to real people."
17
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:43,370
At Google, we take this to heart.
18
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:45,920
Larry's statement
has morphed into one
19
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,565
of Google's core values today:
20
00:00:48,565 --> 00:00:51,380
Focus on the user and
all else will follow.
21
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:55,850
User-centered design puts
the user front and center.
22
00:00:55,850 --> 00:00:58,055
Focusing on the user means
23
00:00:58,055 --> 00:01:00,980
considering their
story, emotions,
24
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:03,650
and the insights you've
gathered about them.
25
00:01:03,650 --> 00:01:05,870
To keep our focus on the user,
26
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:09,125
the user-centered design
process has four steps:
27
00:01:09,125 --> 00:01:13,930
understand, specify,
design, and evaluate.
28
00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:16,670
Following this framework
helps us build
29
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:19,120
products people
actually want to use.
30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,470
First, understand how the user
31
00:01:21,470 --> 00:01:24,400
experiences the product
or similar products.
32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,675
Really understanding the end user
33
00:01:26,675 --> 00:01:28,610
requires a lot of research,
34
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:30,925
and we'll talk more
about this later.
35
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:34,385
Next, specify the
end user's needs.
36
00:01:34,385 --> 00:01:36,019
Based on your research,
37
00:01:36,019 --> 00:01:38,600
you'll narrow down
which end-user problem
38
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,325
is the most important to solve.
39
00:01:40,325 --> 00:01:44,450
Then, design solutions to
the end user's problem.
40
00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:47,270
This is where you'll come
up with ideas for what
41
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:48,890
the product might look like and
42
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:50,500
actually start
building the product.
43
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,365
Finally, evaluate your design
44
00:01:54,365 --> 00:01:56,480
against your end user's needs.
45
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,524
Does your design solve
the end user's problem?
46
00:01:59,524 --> 00:02:02,150
You'll find out here,
and you'll also do
47
00:02:02,150 --> 00:02:04,865
it by testing your
product with real people.
48
00:02:04,865 --> 00:02:07,760
It's important to keep in
mind that as you go through
49
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600
this process, iteration is key.
50
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,690
Iteration means doing
something again,
51
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:17,525
by building on previous
versions and making tweaks.
52
00:02:17,525 --> 00:02:19,700
Let's think about an example of
53
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,220
user-centered design
in the real world.
54
00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:25,475
Five years ago, we
launched Google Photos
55
00:02:25,475 --> 00:02:28,880
as a place to store photos
and keep them organized.
56
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,090
Over time, we noticed
that users also wanted to
57
00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:35,410
revisit memories and
relive treasured moments.
58
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:37,805
To make it easier for
users to do this,
59
00:02:37,805 --> 00:02:40,175
we use the user-centered
design process
60
00:02:40,175 --> 00:02:42,185
to redesign Google Photos.
61
00:02:42,185 --> 00:02:45,500
Now users can easily search
to find their memories.
62
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:50,435
Now you understand the importance
of user-centered design
63
00:02:50,435 --> 00:02:54,895
and why designers always keep
the user front and center.
64
00:02:54,895 --> 00:02:58,400
Up next, we'll check out
two additional frameworks
65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,640
that are popular among UX
designers. See you there.4770
