with a company or brand,
at all touchpoints.
A touchpoint is any way by which a customer
can interact with a brand, such as when
purchasing or using a product or through seeing

UX Overview
User Experience (UX) Copyright © 2019 Vaughn Creative. All rights reserved.

focuses on having a deep
understanding of users,
what they need, what they
value, their abilities, and
also their limitations.
It also takes into account
the business goals and
objectives of the group
managing the project.
UX best practices promote
improving the quality of
the user’s interaction with
and perceptions of your
product and any related
services. - Usability.gov
User Experience (UX)

Describing the
Experimental Prototype
Community of Tomorrow
(aka EPCOT) in 1966
“…is an experimental prototype
that is always in the state of
becoming, a place where the
latest technology can be used to
improve the lives of people.”

“Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the
secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs.
They are curiosity, conﬁdence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is conﬁdence.
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.”

More to Come Later…

“It’s the total experience that matters.
And that starts from when you ﬁrst hear about a
product… experience is more based upon
memory than reality.
If your memory of the product is wonderful,
you will excuse all sorts of incidental things.”
– Don Norman

Six Core Disciplines of UX
User Research Information ArchitectureContent Strategy
Interaction Design Visual Design Usability Testing
Understanding the people who
use the product or system through
observations and
data gathering.
Planning for the creation, delivery,
and governance of useful, usable
content.
Identifying & organizing
information within the product or
system in a purposeful &
meaningful way.
Designing the interactive
behaviors of a product or system
with a specific focus on their use.
Designing the visual qualities of a
product or system in an
aesthetically pleasing way.
Measuring the quality of a user’s
experience when interacting with a
product or system.

Usability Testing is a way to see how easy to use something is
by testing it with real users. Users are asked to complete tasks,
typically while they are being observed by a researcher, to see
where they encounter problems and experience confusion.
User Flow are simply flow schematics of how the user flows
through actions using the system. The goal is simplicity.
Static Comps is a form of sketching out designs to get visuals
on overall look and feel. They are “static” because there’s no
interactivity. 
Mockups are another form of sketching out designs but at a
more “interactive” level. They’ll have more of a representation of
flow & look/feel. But no data tie ins.
Prototypes are another form of sketching out designs but at a
more “interactive plus more functional” level. These designs are
at a deeper level with how the system will function.
ADA Compliance - This is the governance making sure people
with disabilities can use the system.
