Introduction

Over the next few weeks I will be producing a workbook, blog and design portfolio that records the user centred design process. Firstly I will be comparing two design processes that I have looked at in my lectures to see which process will be more beneficial as I progress with my task.

I will be using the blog as a way of documenting the progress I am making throughout this project.
