This week the lecture was on accessibility and the importance of designing in an accessible way. We will also look at Copywriting.
Jesse James Garrett's five elements of user experience are like the building blocks for making something people will enjoy using.
All these elements work together to make sure users have a great experience with a product or service.
Accessibility in UX means making digital displays like websites and apps easy to use for everyone, including people with disabilities. It's about designing things so that everyone, no matter their abilities, can access and interact with them easily. This is important because it includes more people and ensures that everyone can use digital platforms without problems. By following accessible design principles, like adding descriptions for images, designers make sure that everyone has a good and independent experience using digital media.
Inclusion in accessible design is all about making sure digital things, like websites or apps, work for everyone. It means considering different needs and abilities so that everyone, no matter how they interact with technology, can use it easily. This involves things like adding descriptions for images, making it possible to navigate with a keyboard, and thinking about various ways people might use digital stuff. The idea is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and has the same chance to enjoy and benefit from using technology.
Universal design is all about making things that work well for everyone, no matter who they are or how they use things. It's like creating stuff in a way that's easy and enjoyable for as many people as possible. Universal design is about being inclusive, thinking about different needs and making sure nobody feels left out. This helps make things accessible and user-friendly for a whole bunch of people.
