Choosing the research methods/ tools
The love hate letters is an excellent way of understand users perceptions and emotions on a certain topic . As my topic involved understanding my target audiences views on gaming this was an ideal choice.
Diary Studies is a great method of tracking a target audiences day to day and provides great insight on their inner behaviours and hence i used this method to inform me better about the participants surroundings and inturn provide perspective to the possible questions and the answers that i would possible get for the questions asked during the one and one interviews
For a more indepth understanding of the target audience i used one on one interviews.

PERSPECTIVES ON GAMING
As part of our course on Smart Living we were giving the task to pick a topic area of interest and conduct research on the same using various user research methodologies.
I chose the topic of " Finding perceptions of gaming among parents and their children who game "
The Research processes comprised of secondary research which included literature reviews of papers. Followed by primary research.
For the primary research i choose to do one on one interviews both with the parents and the children (with prior permission from the parent and under parental supervision ) , love/ hate letters and diary studies.
I have below documented the research in the form on a slide show below.
