Exploring Effects of Multiple Design Options and Sketchy Design on Web End-Users
Anke Dittmar, Muhammad Umer Imam · 2022
While the role of users as co-designers is increasingly acknowledged in many design situations the focus in cognitive design research is still on professional designers. The present study explores effects of confronting web end-users with multiple design options, and sketchy design. The preliminary results suggest that by presenting a sketchy design, end-user designers contribute more as compared to a finalized design. However, when presented with (not too many) multiple design options, end-user designers do not generate more design ideas as compared to when presented with only one design. The exploratory study contributes to design research in the context of end-user design.
