Introduction to Interaction Design
IFI7156.DT Interaction Design Methods
“Interaction design refers to the
process that is arranged within the
existing resource constraints to
create, shape, and decide all use-
oriented qualities (structural,
functional, ethical, and aesthetic)
of a digital artifact for one or many
clients.”
(Löwgren & Stolterman, 2007)
Design as a process
problem solution
divergence convergence
Wicked problems
A simple interaction design
model
Evaluate
(Re)Design
Identify needs/
establish
requirements
Build an
interactive
version
Final product
(Rogers, Sharp, & Preece, 2007)
Design as a communication
Research-based design process
(Leinonen, Toikkanen, & Silfvast, 2008)
