This project includesPowerword2014personal version of the user study, requirements definition, interaction design,visual design, etc. The work covered the iterative process of the entire project. Products are mainlyfor Windows XP, Windows7, and optimized for Windows8systems.Paper firstly launched in the target population segmentation of Powerword personal version，then expound the user needs，introduced the interaction design concepts，interactive designprototype，the method which can verify its feasibility through usability testing, the version ofthe whole process of iteration. Finally, the paper summarizes the problems encountered in designas well as to the solution of the problem.At the beginning of the product design project team subdivided the crowd positioning andcompeted goods analysis. These studies help product designers to dig the user requirements.Researchers overall combed the product function points and completed the frameworkdesign through user interviews, measurement of the data dictionary and other research methods.The work of Information architecture design, the task flow, page flow analysis, the design of thepage prototype and visual design obtained the good development on this basis.Designer work together with develop team according to the research and development, test,modify, release the cycle process, completed Powerword2014personal version of the releaseprocess.
