julie zhou reading response

I’m not sure I fully understand what Julie is trying to get across in this article. It seems like she is mentioning a problem and not really mentioning why it is a problem. The article explains that designers tend to design the middle of an experience first - the meat of the service or product, the things people would theoretically use it for on a daily basis - without considering the beginning. I’m not sure I really agree that that is a problem. I think you need to know what the “middle” of your experience is before you decide how you’re going to introduce a new user to it. Designing from beginning to middle doesn’t make sense because you would be designing an introduction to an experience that you yourself don’t know yet. I also take issue with the terminology, if new users enter at the “beginning” and the meat of the experience is the “middle”, what is the “end”? The article doesn’t really explain this and overall feels like it’s trying to invent an issue that isn’t super prevalent. Sure, a problem with a lot of apps is that they do a bad job getting you to return, but that often has to do with the holistic service - I don’t think that having a genius “NUX” experience is going to make someone use an app which doesn’t function. I understand the basis of her argument but I’m not sure the article was written in a very persuasive or well-researched manner.

service design reading response

This reading was pretty eye opening, and gave me some great insight into how we should frame our research and methods. Defining the separate parts of our service with People, Place, Props etc will be really helpful, along with defining touchpoints where value exchanges occur in the voting system. It is also necessary, I think, to research how voting has changed over the years and how it might still need to be updated for the modern times. These aren’t really things I had fully considered until doing the reading. I think it will be interesting and helpful to frame our work in the context of this reading.

Testing: Digital Prototype

@jdgz

Observations:

Hannah A.:

Difficulty selecting dimension units. Needs some sort of indicator that the units can be changed.

Same with directions on compass.

Search button needs to be clearer when searching for plants.

Clipping/seed options aren’t clearly buttons

Ashley Z.:

“These buttons are small” relating to the dimensions page.

Needs a cancel/back button on every page.

Kylie O.:

"Cool”

Same difficulty with the dimensions page. It would be helpful if the “okay” button didn’t light up immediately after inputing the last number.

Struggled with the search button. Got lost in a loop

Some sort of animation to show dragging the plant into a spot.

Didn’t click around on search page. Greyed out might have been too effective. Pop up windows look smaller than necessary.
