User research activity cards

Paper prototyping

GDS (Government Digital Service) have created this lovely set of user research activity cards. I spotted them stuck up on the wall at ONS (Office for National Statistics).

After a little bit of poking around online, I found the original file. So here’s the link and a round-up of the activities.
