Summary/Reflection
This lecture was all new to me, I didn’t know much more past user personas from last week. This lecture has taught me the value and importance of usability testing and how it can be crucial to the develop of your project. Moving forward I think I need to look more into examples of usability testing and consider the idea of conducting one. Doing this could help to see if my elements project is usable and easy to navigate to others than just me.
