Assignment Length: 4 weeks
Topic Chosen: Family Visit (Parents and Children) to Pompeii
Description:
We are living in a world of increasingly numerous and specialized digital devices, many of which are expected to display similar information in dramatically different screen resolutions and contexts.
You will be given a new product interface assignment that will involve the display and interaction of information on a PC (either web- or client- based software) that has a component that displays on a full-color 320×240 QVGA screen. Understanding how to effectively design an interface for 2 different devices / platforms (and thus usage scenarios) is the focus of Project 3. This project will result in the following deliverables:
- Artifact Series 1: Audit of competition
- Screen shots / presentation of existing “similar” products
- Any and all reaction to issues surrounding existing interfaces
- Artifact Series 2: Usage Scenario Storyboards
- Photo or Illustration based storyboards depicting the 2 different usage scenarios of the 2 interfaces
(PC and Device)
- Photo or Illustration based storyboards depicting the 2 different usage scenarios of the 2 interfaces
- Artifact Series 3: User Interaction Workflow and UI Wireframes
- Diagram UI Wireframes for 3-5 screens for both PC and Device
- Diagram user workflow through basic interactions for both PC and Device
- Artifact Series 4: Bitmap Explorations
- Prototype 3-5 options for visual interfaces for PC and Device interfaces
- UI Style Guide and Final Presentation
