As a user experience designer, one of the most important steps in the design process is identifying the typical users of the product. This can be achieved by creating fictitious characters that consist of stereotypes that align with the behaviour, motivations and interests that then eventually result in understanding what actions these users will take when they arrive to the website, resulting in a considered user journey, with clear objectives stated as call to actions.
I utilise some of the practices of storytelling in the conceptual design process, specifically the use of archetypes to build character profiles.Traditionally in film, tv and plays there are 12 recurrent persona types across the human experience, which I allocate to each persona.
The colour ‘ACID GREEN’ was introduced into the colour palette due to the previously monochromatic combinations. Based on the psychology of colour theory I knew I could enhance the user’s experience by integrating a contrasting colour to be utilised for key elements such as CTA buttons. Specifically, complementary schemes are based on two colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel. The impact is generated due to the two hues being contrastingly different, resulting in a very maximalist pairing.
