Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs, Reimagined For Design And Usability.

A few days ago, one of the design companies we hired gave a presentation to the heads of the university regarding the new website we’re planning to launch. One of the slides, presented by the creative director, perfectly explained the UX and visual process using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as a model: a site, an app, a print poster, or even a simple map needs to be first and foremost functional, with aestheticism being the finishing, superficial touch needed to complete the product. However, in most cases, clients and other people see design as this:

Womp womp.

Anyway, I found an article online that details the philosophy and psychology of design here.

    Welcome


Born 1983. Art Director, UX/UI and Digital Designer. Illustrator. Dog Owner. Coffee Enthusiast. Pizza Lover.

I love over-thinking the simplest of things and making stuff at every waking moment: comics, food, videos, photos... you name it. This blog is a record of my work, my exploits, and my philosophical, political, and psychological ideologies. So enjoy reading my dumb ideas and inane rants that I'd otherwise be ashamed to verbally speak out in public.
