> Abstract
> Designing digital media products that are efficient, effective and
> satisfying to use, relies on a number of research methods borrowed from
> disciplines as diverse as behavioural psychology, sociology and market
> research. This issue explores ways in which these methods can be adapted
> to
> support a user-centred design process, by focusing on understanding the
> user, their tasks, the context of use and the interaction between these
> elements.
