Inspiring Design: The Use of Photo Elicitation and Lomography in Gaining the Child’s Perspective

This paper reports on a case study of a participatory technique that focuses on gathering contextual information from users to assist the analysis and design process. It presents a participatory methodology based upon a photo-elicitation approach combined with Lomo photography practices and group-centric analysis aimed at children and teenagers in order to draw together design requirements specifically for them. The paper discusses the use of this approach for designing a multimedia learning application on water safety aimed at 11-13 year olds, with results highlighting the benefits of this approach for creating appropriate designs.
