Phase 3b: Design (Analysis of paper proto)
We conducted our paperprototype user walkthru and analysed what our tester said. And they were really accurate in spotting mistakes and to helpful. Perhaps becos they are rather IT savvy. It was great for them to be critical, such that we could develop our hifi prototype easier and faster.
As it was on paper, the proto was not able to give out errors or feedback, thus users cannot test that portion. However, the testers pointed out some stuff. Such as,
- there's no next or back button (we didnt/forget to add that) when booking
- they didnt understand what is "book-a-lot" (which is part of the navi bar link for booking)
- some was confused with the words, "News" and "Announcements" (suppose to be the same thing)
- layout was somewhat weird (we intend to use more graphics then the usual static sites. It's quite difficult to convey our "flash idea" to them, esp on paper. Although this was against what our initial studies have told us. They preferred clean, simple but pleasing site. But we felt that it might not be able to give a good "UX". We decided to do a "out of the box" approach, and do the testings that will either slam or support our intentions. )
Its good to have the small little things ironed out, as they are usually hard to spot as designers. We tend to "assume" a bit (just a bit. heh)
Presenting to Mr. Reddy
We were required to inform our lecturer about our progress, findings and what we have did so far, based on our paper prototype. We summarised some quick pointers of our analysis to him and it ended quite quickly. I guess so long as our team is progressing, it should be ok. Also, its rather hard to present the findings of the paper prototype (not that its not important), or spend time preparing to present the paper, as we are heading to produce the hifi proto within a week (and conduct heuristic and user testing!)
