evaluation & refinement
EVALUATION & REFINEMENT: Multi-disciplinary teams evaluate the design concepts and transform the most promising solutions into a concrete and fully-detailed design that meets the client's defined goal. Conflicts imposed by functional, ergonomic, and marketing requirements are resolved as the final solution takes shape. User research may be conducted to validate the acceptance and viability of the emerging designs.
