I know of many conflicted journalists who have dipped toes into other fields, either out of necessity (being laid off or needing an additional source of income as a freelancer), or because they’re simply tired and fed up. For a few years, I’ve been one of these — while freelancing for public radio, I made money from online content or marketing work, which I enjoyed at times, but which ultimately was not my passion. One scenario you don’t often see: journalists voluntarily getting into some other field because they’re interested in it. When it comes to intellectually stimulating, ego-boosting, fulfilling work, journalism is tough to beat. If you’re at all introspective as a journalist, you know this.

The principle of “Design for All” is one that begins with the Seven Principles of Universal Design. These were founded at North Carolina State University back in 1997 by a team of design specialists across multiple disciplines which was headed by Ronald Mace.

If you want the best end product, you have to anticipate real user scenarios from the prototyping phase. Usability testing should be the last place to start thinking about usability. Why worry about usability testing so early in the process when prototyping already has a big enough to-do list? Because unless your prototype is usable, all your testing will tell you is that people don’t like terrible products. unless your prototype is usable, all your testing will tell you is that people don’t like terrible products It almost goes without saying, but you’re designing the product to be used by real people.

Predictable interactions create trust in the product as well as the brand. #2: Match between system and the real world The design should speak the users' language. The way you should design depends very much on your specific users.

So we all dutifully go through the website and prepare a content inventory spreadsheet capturing page titles, details of page content, and so on. Each content inventory contains a different set of columns and fields; each has a purpose specific to the needs of the particular site being analyzed. Arquitetura de Informação.
