Design Notebook Entry for CH2
Thank you for your presentation. For the entry, record comments / questions you received (if any) during the challenge report presentation.
P10: Create High Fidelity Prototype and Prepare for Design Critique Session #2
This week, continue to develop your high-fidelity prototype on Figma and start to embed interactions into the prototype (i.e., connect user actions to screen changes). Make your design as polished as possible for the design critique session #2, to be held during the next studio class. For the design critique session, your high-fidelity prototype can be static and not yet interactive.
Please make your best attempt to follow standard design guidelines---the
IOS Design Guidelines if you are designing for iPhones (see also
Apple's design kit for Figma), and the
Android Design Guidelines if you are designing for Androids.
During the design critique session, you will be paired with two other teams. In each round, you will take turn giving and receiving critiques. The presenting team should give a 10 minute (sharp) presentation about the visual designs for their features (and user flow, if they are ready) using Figma displayed on a laptop/tablet or on a phone, followed by a 5 minute critique discussion. Each member of the team providing the critique must fill in a design critique form during class. Students will also be asked to complete presenter and critiquer rating forms after class. The format is similar to the design critique session #1, except that the focus is now on the visual design of the app (e.g., look and feel, color schemes, layout and placement, etc).
PO1: User Interviews - Prototype Evaluation
As a team, find a user or two---
someone who is not a student in CS449/649 class---to interview. Follow the same ethics guidelines as the ones provided in
week 3, but
make sure that you are now using the consent forms for prototype evaluation, instead of the ones for informational interviews.
The interviews, from this point on, focus on hi-fi prototype evaluation. For this week, show the user your first draft of the hi-fidelity prototype design (which can be static and not yet interactive), and ask them for some feedback on the design and functionality of your app. For each interview, add a section to the design notebook to capture a summary of your findings.
PO2c: Final Project Presentation - Preparation I
The final presentation will be held remotely and take place on
Tuesday August 1 (5:30pm-7pm) on the Ohyay platform. The final presentation will bridge all sections; i.e., you will have the opportunity to present and listen to teams who are not in your own lab section. Each team will assign 1-2 people to give a 6 minute presentation, followed by a very brief discussion. In addition, all students (presenters included) must attend 2 other presentations that are not their own; the sign-up procedure for attending presentations will be posted over the next few weeks.
In preparation for the final presentation, this week, please do the following:
- log onto Ohyay using the invitation link that is posted on/pinned to the #presentation Slack channel. As a team, go into one of the rooms, try chatting with each other and screen-sharing a dummy version of your final presentation on google slides (on a separate browser window). This will give you a sense of how Ohyay works.
- choose your top FIVE 10-minute timeslots for your team's presentation by submitting this form. Your team will be assigned a presentation timeslot in the next 1-2 weeks.
