User-Centered Design Software System Assessment
User-centered design is not only limited to software systems. It can be applicable to your everyday’s products.
In this assessment, you need to identify four everyday products/software with bad design. A well-designed product should take into consideration the theories that we have covered so far (Principle of proximity, visibility visual feedback, visual performance, visual hierarchy, progressive disclosure, consistency, affordance, etc.). On the other hand, the badly designed product does not take humans into consideration which made it a bad design. Once identified the products, explain the problems with the products and what could be the possible solutions.
