User Personas & Portraits

This past months (October and September) have been about trying to define my thesis work, even though its yet a work in progress due to many reasons, i've been trying to integrate everything i know in it from photography to things i enjoy like food and plants.

So the other day i had to start doing user personas (you might ask what is that?); User Personas, are often used during the initial design of a website, app or project where one generates a person in which you start basing your content on, it's like a target audience with the difference that you create from 2 to 5 and give them needs and possible user flows, this way you are creating your design, website or app with an specific user in mind besides yourself.

User personas can be real people or can be people we made up, in my case i usually like mixing both because it makes the process of creating them easier and is fun. So this gave me the chance to request friends to get their portraits taken and work on it for a weekend of fun portrait shooting, we had terrible hours in some cases which led to the sun being on top of us or having no sun at all, but i think it worked out, the final layout for my thesis book is not yet finished but this will give you an idea of how User Personas might look.

For the portraits of user personas, often stock images are used, i always like doing my own photography to avoid either paying stock images and because i feel they look more natural than the stock people (sorry stock images people :/ ) so in my case, we used natural light and the one bouncer in some cases, except in the night portrait in which my flash was needed.

  2. Polls in Georgia say that voters are in favor of legalized sports activities betting, and executives from their main sports activities teams have additionally been vocal about help. Georgia’s inched nearer to passing a bill in every of its last go-arounds, though Republicans in the Senate remain against new playing legal guidelines. A bill that might have permitted a state-run lottery and mobile wagering seemed prefer it had a chance in 2022, but lawmakers ended their session without voting on it. A robust market would be a troublesome task in a state with solely three tribal casinos and no lottery to run online betting. North Carolina legalized in-person sports activities 메리트카지노 betting in 2019 for two tribal casinos miles away from any of its main cities. Though New York’s mobile sports activities betting launch — and the large income its amassed since January — pose a risk to New Jersey’s dominance, so far revenue’s been up over last 12 months.
