Just as we started to go deeper and refine our offerings, we stepped back. We thought.
Why did we do it? Who would it help? What made it deserved to exist?
We simplified. We started over. We’ve made it better.
And this is it.

Hi team, that’s a great story board. Well done. For the final submission, perhaps consider giving it a title, number each aspect of the story board, and perhaps introduce some commentary to the story board. This story board works well without much additional text, which is essentially what you want.
Have you read anything else to design your story board, for example the reference listed on blackboard on story boarding. In your final reflective log, perhaps refer to it and discuss how this and the lecture influenced your story board as well as what you learned about the role of story boarding and how you prepared your story board. There’s a lot of opportunity to deepen your reflection when it comes to the final design log.
Finally, well done for ‘starting over’. Starting over can be a key thing in the design process… While I don’t think you had to start over completely, throwing away older ideas, changing your concept design in the light of new requirements is a tough thing to do. Such courage and effort can be rewarded and result in better designs.
Hi Seb, we are pleased to know that you like the storyboard. On this blog entry, what we are trying to do is to write as little as we can so that the texts wouldn’t take the shine off the brilliant drawing by Yilin. In fact, the storyboard is pretty self-explanatory and not much additional texts are needed to guide the audience and we are glad that you see it the same way.
Plan A Lot is a very organic idea and concept that it is not currently offered in the market as far as we are aware of. However, we did make reference to a few apps that are also available to the public when we were drafting the storyboard. We’re also sticking to our intention we’ve set on day 1 i.e. to bridge the gap between the younger generation and planners when we looked at what we wanted our users to feel and how they would potentially use Plan A Lot.
What guides our team really is our intention; the intention of listening and responding to a need that has been there for years but still being left without a solution. We started over because we realised that our original idea, although a lot easier to execute and could have easily been adopted by other clients, it didn’t echo our intention the same way or to the same extent as Plan A Lot. “It’s not that we are not interested in the work we’ve done before; it’s just we are so consumed by what we haven’t done yet” (Ive, 2016).
