Uma proposta de metodologia de redesign aplicando o framework DECIDE e o modelo A.C.T.

Abstract

When developing interfaces, it is important to consider the necessary evolutions to keep up with the constant changes in technology. Also, it is important to consider the target audience to carry out this evolution appropriately. In this context, we propose a methodology construction for redesigning interfaces considering the product’s technological aspects and the target audience while demonstrating the need for emotional design. For this, we used framework DECIDE and the Attract Converse Transact (A.C.T.) model to build the methodology proposal developed from five steps: (1) preparation of a checklist of emotional design evaluation, (2) DECIDE application of the prototype analysis with experts, (3) DECIDE application of the preferences and visual references questionnaire, (4) creation of the moodboard of preferences and visual references and (5) redesign with A.C.T. We applied the proposed methodology to develop AGNES redesign, an app that aims to improve the experience of trans women in high school. In its first development cycle, AGNES included a usability test with positive results, however, some participants reported not identifying the app as being directed to the trans community, showing the need for a redesign that influences the identification with the users. As a result, we obtained a methodology proposal for constructing an interface redesign and, finally, a usage example employing the proposed methodology in the AGNES redesign.
