My survey led me to gather the precious data of 80 people from 17 to 40 years old, mostly living in Paris and Lyon. I crossed it with statistics I found about social networks energy consumption, behaviours and daily use of social networks. It helped me to created personas.
My process:
Gather general data
Gather precise data on users
Look for patterns
Deducing main research fields, important for my design
Creating unique personas with different personnalities, needs, expectations
I ended up creating XXX personas you can consult on the slideshare below? [A part is still in french and I will translate it soon]
