Abstract

Images of real people trigger designers to empathise with users. This paper explores the use of visual representations of a person's face in conveying results of user studies to design teams. Several small and large studies with different explorations around the search, choices and use of images are described. The paper concludes with tentative guidelines for selecting and creating effective images of users in design communication.
