Simple Interaction Branding Processmodel

Dear visitor, the Interaction Branding processmodel is currently only available in German.
have a look at it here.

Methods and Approaches

This part is about differnet methods and approaches that ensure the solution is able to provide an experience for the user focusing on the character and added value of the company, the product or the service.

Creating an experience is the most important part of the desired result. This means focusing on methods and approaches that ensure human centered solutions and not solutions that originate from technical possibilites.

Basicly the different methods and approaches can be placed into two categories: Ones that involve representatives of the target group from beginning of the design process and ones that use representatives of the target group for testing and refining.

(A list of the different methods and approaches will be available soon.)

A catalogue of questions and heuristics

(The catalog is still not complete but hopefully will be soon)

  • Is it the approach human centered, or on technical possibilites?
  • Can the user complete all the tasks easily?
  • To what extent can contents/objects be processed without using control elements?
  • Is the user led orpatronised? Does he have freedom to decide and be in control?
