Braga, Caio. “Rendering Intentionality.” Medium, UX Collective, 16 Jan. 2020, uxdesign.cc/rendering-intentionality-1a57df40b585.
This article focuses on how adding new features to a product isn’t always a good thing. After a while of continuously adding new features, the product will have a hard time meeting its initial purpose. Users may have a difficult time with the unnecessary features and won’t be able to use the product in an efficient manner. By focusing on its intended purpose and keeping it simplistic, the product is more useful for the user.
From this article, I learned that the function of the product is something that needs to be prioritized. I also learned that additional features may look nicer and seem more appealing, but they can be a hindrance for users and have a negative impact on the overall product.
I intend to use the knowledge that I have acquired in the redesign of the Greenspring Review. I plan to utilize the idea that simplicity is sometimes better. When redesigning the Greenspring Review, I also plan to focus on the functionality of the website instead of adding unnecessary features.
