Project 4 Prototype Design due

Discuss final project presentation requirements:

Each member of the group should submit the same designerly PDF addresses all of the elements set out in the Project 4 Brief.


Prototype Design and Rationale:
 
Starting with your Design Brief, set out the steps you followed in developing and testing your prototype with your client/group

You can use the "Prototyping for Empathy," "Prototype to Test," "Testing with Users,""User-Driven Prototyping," "Shooting Video," and "Video Editing" methods from Bootcamp Bootleg, pp. 33 - 35, 38, 42 - 43.

Show the evolution of your prototypes, the rationale for them, the response from testing with users, and the iterations as your understanding of client needs improves through the prototyping process.

Document your design evolution in words, images and, if appropriate, video and present in a designerly PDF.


Final Project: Due Monday, 15 December at noon:

The Overview addresses the aim of your user-centered design project holistically. The Background addressed the context of your work. The Conclusion sets out the success of your prototyping exercise in clarifying and meeting a specific need of your client group.

Previous project content, e.g. the Case Study and Prototype Design and Testing can be further refined in the final submission.

Each individual group member should also submit their evaluations of your fellow team members and a reflection paper on this project specifically, and also on what you've learned during the course of this semester. Reflect on the skills and understandings you've developed and their relevance for you in your future career.
