Imagine you could create the perfect circumstances for a product to be successful before it's even been designed. It's safe to say you'd be a more confident and capable designer. This is the power that gamification, based in behavioral science, allows designers to harness.
There are two primary ways of designing a product: function-focused design (FFD) and human-focused design (HFD).
FFD assumes that people are robots, set to complete a task-think repetitive factory jobs.
HFD is designed to optimize and motivate people's feelings, making tasks a fun and engaging experience-think amusement parks.
Gamification is the step of converting a product from a function-focused design into a human-focused design. It's honing for human motivation in a system rather than designing for the sole purpose of efficiency.
Good Design Motivates Humans
Imagine you could create the perfect circumstances for a product to be successful before it’s even been designed. It’s safe to say you’d be a more confident and capable designer.

FFD assumes that people are robots, set to complete a task—think repetitive factory jobs.
