POST SEVEN: FINAL STRETCH

Leading up to the final presentation at Premera, we spent the first of our last three weeks performing usability tests on fellow members of our cohort to finalize our design. We completed five tests in total, with five different evaluators, each providing valuable insight into ways in which we could improve our process flow and interface design.



After making these changes, we began creating a digital mockup of our design. This was also an incredibly iterative process, undergoing many critiques and changes along the way.

Our first digital mockup was given feedback of being too corporate and boring, having strayed from our initial hip and DIY style prototype. Thus, we changed our typeface to the casually cool and simple Lato, and adjusted our colors and graphics to elicit a younger, more fun application experience. Additionally, we changed our application name to "Pronto!" and designed an icon for our application:


Aside from the design work we completed, we also shot a medium fidelity prototype video, and began working on our final report. We pulled together research from earlier in the quarter, continued developing a user experience flow diagram, and began creating updated infographics of our research frameworks, one such example is shown below.


We still have a great deal to accomplish before final presentations at Premera on the 11th, and although we sometimes disagree on design choices and other similar decisions, we all agree that this project has been a tremendous learning experience!
