True to the word, user-centered design (UCD) is a design philosophy that approach the method of designing that revolves around the information about the user that will use the product. UCD activities consist of four phases; analysis, design, implementation and lastly, deployment. These phases are very significant in making sure the designer understand about the needs of his/her own user.
UCD makes sure that the products are to the wanting and needing of the user instead to force the user to accommodate their behaviour for the product. In other words, UCD is a tailored made design for the user, focusing on the needs of specific user
However, this will be impossible for a large target audience because it will take a very long time for the designer to try to understand the user’s experiences one by one to implement on their design. But for the user, it proves to be an advantage as they could understand the product better. UCD has both pro and cons as I stated above.
