during this class, we had to "find the other", which was done through a quick research session and visual presentation. we had to narrow down the user group to a specific person or niche of the group; my partner & i chose to focus on student expats, as we thought it would lead to more user input/feedback, as we would have a (significantly) larger group of people to interview and test with.

during this class, we studied about venn diagrams and knolling in user representation. we had to find similarities and differences between us and the user group, as well as collect 100 signs of the user group and knoll them into sub-groups; this would help us get to know the user group on a deeper level.
