1 understand your users.
not a captive audience. • Who they are. • Where they will be. • When they will be there.
Nikon Learn & Explore • Amateur/new photographers • Visual learners • Brand-agnostic
2 be goal-oriented.
results-oriented design • Yelp wants users to contribute reviews. • Their app provides the ability to draft reviews while at a restaurant.
3 add value everyware.
