the tools and techniques you used to create it
one end-user consideration you took into account
one type of feedback from a stakeholder and how you used it
2.) Explain how one implication (e.g., usability, accessibility, privacy, legal, ethical) affected the development of your digital outcome.
Include:
what the issue was
what decision you made
how this improved your outcome for the user
3.) Describe how your outcome was tested and refined.
