Context is everything

Context is everything

 In the world of experience design, it is difficult to think of a design influence more important than context of use.

Context provides many of the essential clues about the type of experience the product user desires – or, indeed, needs – and how designs are constructed as a result.

In this post you’ll discover:

  • how context influences everyday experiences like dining out
  • why context determines what problems we need to solve
  • how context guided the design of an app to combat alcoholism
  • the only reason adults go to McDonalds.
