confirm and/or improve your product designed. It’s a way to have feedback quickly.
In a few minutes, you will understand the emotional reactions or not of users and why. It can also be used to inform and even inspire different visual design directions you may be considering.
You can show three screen variations of your project and participants must give adjectives for the three screens. This will allow you to choose a version or keep the elements that work.
Prepare a list per participant. Check that your project is visible on the overhead projector. Place
the bics and sheets of paper on the table.
Explain the context, what is the desirability test and the context of your product without showing
them at first. Give them each the list of adjectives.
Display your product using the overhead projector.
The participants must assimilate 5 adjectives to your project. They write them on a sheet and
must explain why they chose to assign them (an explanation for each adjective). They must do
it individually so that their answers are not biased.
Finally, end with a loud feedback where everyone speaks about three (or five) adjectives that
have the most impact. Debate around this. You can after recover the sheets to have these
feedback write.
