<\/p>\nHello again,<\/p>\n
This week started with our mid-term presentation in front of the rest of the class. With some mishaps while presenting we pinpointed things that we should remember for our final presentation in January. We got good response for our example research and were told that we should limit our key requirements a bit. Thinking about this we have now discussed and decided upon our most important requirements to be: easy to use and understand; time efficient and enticing; informational and provide opportunity to give feedback on the planned changes in Jesmond.<\/p>\n
For this week\u2019s seminar we continued with a bit more example research but later began talking about gamification which means adding game elements in order to evoke more interest in the users. Gamification is something we talked quite a bit about during our Tuesday meeting and that we want to implement in our final product. One of our biggest obstacles with this thought, however, is the risk of getting poor but high-quantity feedback instead of quality feedback. We tried keeping this in mind when we started sketching out ideas for the design.<\/p>\n
One of our earliest design ideas was very basic and not really interesting enough to evoke interest in the users. It basically just showed users the changes and were given an opportunity to comment on them if they wanted to. This of course is the main objective with our product but it isn\u2019t really anything new since it is very similar to Commonplace.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After discussing a lot and sketching out ideas we landed, after many iterations, on a design rather similar to our first one but a bit more enticing and different. As a way to encourage users we introduced the concept of giving out stickers when they were finished using the product. These stickers are both meant as an reward but also a means to spread the word about the Streets for People project as well as our product.<\/p>\n

Also during our group meeting, we started creating a user experience flow chart so that we could have a clear idea in our heads of the whole feedback process. This is the most basic visualisation of our concept and from here on we need to start focusing on the small details such as colourways, sizing, stickers etc.<\/p>\n
