Participants are invited to experience firsthand some of the most valuable UX methods: observation and usability; card sorting and affinity mapping; love letters and break-‐up letters; and cognitive mapping. Other methods explored include: diary studies and cultural probes; photo interviews; touchstone tours, graffiti walls; interviews; behavioural mapping.
