Summary
The original design brief of our group is about obesity. We prefer to use attractive visual presentation to raise audiences’ awareness for obesity. Initially, this theme belongs to healthcare innovation area. Health care topic is a popular theme that the increasing number of citizens are interested in recently. Hence, the exploration of this field can draw general audiences attention and have positive meaning and promotion in social activities. Otherwise, obesity is a significant problem in public health area. According to the research by World Health Organization (WHO), “in 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese.” Obesity is becoming the most serious cause to effects people’s health. In addition, this problem is also considerable in Australia. Overweight is affecting 48% male and 30% female in Australia. meanwhile, obesity is also affecting a further 41% of Australian (Thorburn 2005, 187). Clearly then, our purpose is to design a attractive and interactive graphic-based website to advertise the serious situation of obesity in Australia, and then, educating audience some relevant knowledge about prevention and awareness of obesity.
Table of Contents
<Insert a Table of Contents for the following section>
Basically, our website is necessary because of several reasons. First of all, health care is the classical theme that many industries are exploring and constructing. Meanwhile, obesity is an unspecific concept but has close relationship to our daily life. For example, according to our interview and online research, many people may know the harm of overweight and fat. Some interviewee can list some relevant diseases of becoming fat. However, just limited of people understand the specific and scientific standard of obesity. Most of people just hold a blurred recognition about this area. Subsequently, although there are numerous health care websites and applications is working in this area, for example, advertising the serious data of obesity, offering audience exercise suggestion and customizing health diet. The drawbacks of these website are the lack of attractive visual elements and individual personal supervision. The normal presentation method of data in these website are usually tables and chart, such as pie chart, bar chart and line chart. These types of boring information can not raise audiences’ interest. Therefore, our design is required and necessary.
After the identification of design problem, we did many research and case study for several aspects, such as: the content, visual style and website coding techniques. All these elements combine together can create an attractive and informative website.
Firstly, because our website is an information-based site. Our purpose is to educate and inform our audience by the plenty of knowledge and data. So we firstly research online by using keyword, such as: obesity, obesity in Australia, the difference between overweight and obesity, to find out what information are people care about in this area. Then, we have the initially structure about our website and create a series of research materials to test the content order, which include interview question and questionnaire.
Secondly, the visual style is the most attractive aspect in our website. It also decide the difference to other normal website in this area. Although our topic is not a new idea, the actual creativity is attractive graphic-data demonstration. We are trying to inform audience the professional figure about obesity via interesting graphic and images.

4. Production process (Iris)
User experience designer: Weile Zhang (n9036539)
Project manager: Yarui Wang (n 8782172)
Website developer (cording): Mu Li (….)
User interface design: Songnan Yi (n 8822875), Yarui Wang (n 8782172)
UX research: 1. Find out the target audiences and their needs
In the first group meeting, we have analyzed several websites as the examples of case studies. We decided to use one-long-page style for this obesity website. We also looked at other health organizations’ websites which address obesity problem in Australia as references statistics for our project. The outcome of this meeting we decided as follow:
5. Distribute interface design works
Producing website wireframe and sketches interface prototype
Start undertaking user research
Collecting knowledge and studying cases:
4. Statistics (from social networks on media)
5. Obese cartoon character
Continue undertaking user research
In the second meeting, we firstly brainstormed ideas and design the web. And then, we discuss the first draft of the website text and the embedded graphics. Moreover, we have talked about the user research results and decided the information we would illustrate on the website. We also thought about the way we illustrate these data on the web. We create the low-fidelity prototype for the website.
Then we have done the first in group website testing (only wireframe and texts).
Paper test (in group text)
Continue producing pictures and elements for web’s interface
Produce the gif on the web
In the third meeting, we discussed the second draft of the web prototyping and graphics. We added a new idea for the website logo and decided to make it animated. We designed the icons and sketched them.
Continue producing logo, graphics and icons
We discussed several outcomes these days we produced to see if there is any mistake. We distributed the writing staff for the project document.
Continue developing website (coding and improving Web UI design)
Finish and upload our project
