Key Takeaways

  • Observation helps us paint a more colorful picture of our End User and the challenge.
  • Observed empathy is gained by paying attention to what our End User is doing, looking for what they wouldn't have told us otherwise when we were listening to them.
  • Ask yourself, "are they using the system, service, or product different than I expected? ###

ActivityLet's do some people-watching! Grab a notebook and find a place with a lot of people. Maybe a mall, a public park, or the airport. Find a place to sit and spend 10-20 minutes just watching as people pass by. What trends do you notice? How are people interacting with each other and with the environment? Who stands out, and why? Remember- seek surprises, think about WHY, and take notes!###

‍

Group Discussion
  • Share about your people-watching activity with your team. What surprises stood out?
  • How might we observe how our End Users interact with us?###

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
