Activity centered design considerations for first wave millennials

Jacob Alonzo

This poster is a visual depiction of the Activity Centered Design of First-Wave Millennials. Activity Centered Design differs from User Centered Design in that the focus shifts from the user to what the user is actually doing. It is always important to analyze audience needs, but many designers focus too much on user needs and less on the context of user activity. Activity Centered Design gives users only the tools that they need and that they will use.

The poster is based on research conducted on First-Wave Millennials or those people who came of age at the beginning of the 21st century. This is the next and maybe greatest generation to have come into existence.
