8.1 [Work in Progress] Thesis 1: Major Project / Thesis Materials

Nov 5

This week I focused on making the app's task flows. According to the top-level architecture document I made last week, I extracted the core functions in the app and created a task flow for each function. I divide my functions into user login function; account creation function; shopping function; evaluation function; comparison function and transaction function. From my point of view, my current task flows can make people sense, because I take the user's thinking logic into consideration when creating task flows. Of course, I really hope to have real users for user testing so that I can get more feedback. Also this week, I started the production of deliverable 1. According to my early plan, my first deliverable mainly involves the production of motion graphic videos and the design of a retail environment. Therefore, I started with video and signatures design this semester. This week I drew some sketches of sidewalk signages and designs of signage icons. It is my aim to make my content more aligned with my visual system by adding circular and arc elements. I made a computer draft of sidewalk signages this week, hoping to get some good modification suggestions. In terms of video, I mainly drew storyboards and should be able to produce a video demo next week.
