User Fair

Overview

The user fair is intended to provide you with additional project opportunities and introduce potential clients representing under-served groups.

You will need to take notes so that you can report to your section in your first lab meeting. If you have a conflict, please just make sure that somebody else on your team is covering your session. You may use your slack workspace to contact team members.

Ideas from the user fair may be combined with the list of ideas selected from your upcoming brainstorming deliverable.

Tips & Tricks

Please don't look for the client to provide a solution or tightly specified design problem. In talking to clients you will probably identify new opportunities that they have not explicitly identified. Some of the potential clients may have specific design problems in mind, while others will discuss broader issues. Please remember that, as a designer, it is your responsibility to interpret information carefully so that you can develop the most need-appropriate and successful product possible. Specific implementation ideas provided by the client may—or may not—be sound.
