The students doing a fantastic job giving their final client presentations, it's amazing how far they've come since Week 1. This was followed by Jonas preparing them for the job market.

Prototype v2

February 3, 2014

Home screen is always populated.

When you haven’t selected your interests, the content is constructed out of popular events.

From the usability tests, it became clear that the dialogue box (‘Make your home stream more personal […]’) was not understood as a link.

(See 2nd photo) After the user indicates his/her areas of interest, the home stream is populated with events filtered according to those interests.

From the user persona, it became clear that finding friends was an important navigational tool.

(See 3rd photo) ‘My List’ is hidden until the user selects it, or adds an event.

Prototype v1

January 31, 2014

'My List' is always open to encourage users to add events.

Search is included in main content, which is not conventional.

'Home Stream' vs. 'Personal Stream' is unclear.

Last week

We did 2 rounds of design studio method. ( This link will explain what is design studio method http://vimeo.com/37861987) 

5 mins each to come up with 5-6 wireframes. 3 mins to explain why we did it. 

In this blog, there is a user flow for Cleo ( Persona for blogger),  Rough wireframe ideas for website and the final wireframe from Design studio session with Lina and Jess.

Prototype V2: The evolution of data visualisation. Following our visit to the Guardian we looked at grouping relevant information into zones. Each zone contains within it the relevant data. Both brands and laZook can easily access and print relevant sheets. Next stage is usability testing.

Iterating of laZook information. Some card sorting and colour coding.

Our hypothesis is now split into task enabled view and data driven view. This will be out A and B testing for prototype 2.
