Week 9

Testing

This week I did lots of testing of ideas within my app, finding out what it is that people want.
I started to look into features that are need and what I can discard in order to streamline the process.
I had positive feedback from my peers on the word which was good but I need to move towards a new aesthetic as I am not happy with it at the moment

Journey Map

I started to look at what kind of other touch points could be useful or my project and I have decided poster are an easy way to inform people so that is where I will start but I am excited about the prospects of developing other cool touch points.

Week 8

Thursday

Prototyping- I found this session pretty hard to interact with so early in the piece as I didn't really know where to start, my idea was not developed or defined enough to start making or testing. However I did continue to brainstorm and work out where I want my idea to go.

Friday

More of the same on Friday, I started to prototype a potential app idea looking at what may be needed within the project to get people outdoors. what is stopping them ? How can we overcome this ? those types of questions. what are the goals ?
- to motivate
- inform
- engage
- facilitate

Week 7

Thursday

We started to look into how we can interact with different areas of wellbeing through our idea. How we can help users to connect, be active, give, keep learning and take notice.
I found this to be an interesting way to look at how the user interacts with your idea because it directly relates to how the idea my effect the users life, as a way of thinking I found it very useful.

Friday

I started to do some surveys and research about what my peers like to do in the outdoors, most of it seems to be weather dependent. Working out what I wanted ask for my surveys was difficult, asking the right questions to get more detailed and informative answers
