adapt

Adapt existing designs to work effectively across different contexts - different screen sizes, devices, platforms, or use cases.

Assess Adaptation Challenge

Understand what needs adaptation and why:

1. Identify the source context:

   • What was it designed for originally? (Desktop web? Mobile app?)
   • What assumptions were made? (Large screen? Mouse input? Fast connection?)
   • What works well in current context?

2. Understand target context:

   • Device: Mobile, tablet, desktop, TV, watch, print?
   • Input method: Touch, mouse, keyboard, voice, gamepad?
   • Screen constraints: Size, resolution, orientation?
   • Connection: Fast wifi, slow 3G, offline?
   • Usage context: On-the-go vs desk, quick glance vs focused reading?
   • User expectations: What do users expect on this platform?
