The next step for us was to plan out our iPad app and work out the display interface, how we wanted to present our idea and capture the audiences attention. We all attended the lecture where prototyping was introduced to the class and as a group we looked at the concept of prototyping, how it would be beneficial and further our work. It was discussed how we\u00a0could use\u00a0prototyping\u00a0and we were shown examples, including &#8216;Marvel&#8217;, a software that would allow us to capture the interface step by step and showcase how we want our application to work.<\/p>\n<p>In the following seminar\u00a0we set up the Marvel design and started to add the frames to our project. We were slightly stuck with inspiration for how it would look, so we agreed to each go away over the weekend and mock up some of our own designs of how we would want the screen to look and what would be included. Individually, we had to think about what would appeal to the users as our project is aimed at young people, so it had to be kept quite simple and make the application interactive and fun to use. When we came together next, our designs were all the same, in terms of the features we wanted to include and where we wanted the symbols and icons to be placed.<\/p>\n<p>It was a successful week in terms of keeping our work on track and moving forward with our project. The team is working really well together and each of us are having our\u00a0ideas implemented into the product. The next step for us is to complete the prototype on\u00a0Marvel and have it finished in time for our user meetings where we will be undertaking user testing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To follow on from the\u00a0storyboard, we planned out how we wanted our product to be accessed and seen by the potential users.
