It is relatively high as we have refined our design, layout and pathways to make sure the app can run smoothly during prototype demonstration. Even though we started off with low fidelity, we quickly realized that it would be ideal for a higher level of fidelity to make the prototyping as realistic as possible, but also to ease the processes and tasks of prototype demonstration. Therefore we increased the level of fidelity , but not to the point of programming the product.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design<\/strong><br \/>\nThe visual style of the prototype is essential in the prototyping as it becomes a tool for enchancing readability and communication. We have decided to use a Green theme combined with neutral blacks and whites, and the font <em>roboto<\/em> for the design. By limiting the color choices, we also simplify the design. Our icons and buttons are made to be as universal as possible. They all reoccur in the same format to simplify the navigation and communicate familiarity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pathways<\/strong><br \/>\nAs our main goal is to increase community engagement in the society, one the most important feature of this platform was the comment section. This became one of the pathways to test the user on, in the form of a task, where they had to post a comment about a development. The other important pathway is the designer\u2019s pathway to editing and interact with the project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals for the prototyping demonstration<br \/>\n<\/strong> Our main goal for the prototyping demonstration is to gain an insight into the interaction between product and user. We want to understand the products use in a context and see what areas the product lacks in. Our goals will therefore be: -To see the pathway to finding or completing our tasks such as commenting and checking their\u00a0\u00a0engagement level.<br \/>\n-To understand the main weaknesses of the product<br \/>\n-To understand the readability of the product and the challenges of navigating through the app.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prototype demonstration and User testing<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have generated a list of interview questions as well as a sheet for user testing. The sheet for user testing will largely focus on the pathways and tasks, while the set of interview questions are more for the overall feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blog 8- Prototyping detailed Level of fidelity It is fair to say that our product has a middle to high level of fidelity.
