Daniel asked Jonas 6 questions across Chicago and San Francisco.
This fictional interview demonstrates questions and follow-ups. It is not a record of a real user interview.
Daniel and Jonas had not met. This was how Jonas first introduced themselves:
The first question came from this introduction. Later questions followed the answers.
Hi! A mug on a table. I had imagined going straight to landscapes. We spent most of the session looking at the handle, which was harder than I expected.
I kept drawing what I thought a mug should look like. The teacher moved my chair a little and asked me to look again. From that seat, you could hardly see through the handle at all.
Post an “Interview me” card, or get matched at random with someone to interview.
Not entirely. I was used to knowing my job. I kept checking other people’s pages, even though nobody was grading us. I nearly put mine in the bin afterward.
We were told to bring the same sketchbook back. Very practical reason, really. Now I’m glad it’s there because I can see that I’ve improved a little.
At a bench near my old streetcar route. I draw the shelter while I wait for a friend. Buses are too fast for me, so they tend to become rectangles.
Eventually. For now I’d like to finish a page without apologizing for it when someone looks over. I still say “I’ve only just started” much too quickly.
