DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
From our user research, we created a list of design requirements that must be supported by our product in order to satisfy user needs and expectations. Design requirements are the actions and data needed to support user needs in the final design. This step helps direct ideation by providing a framework of requirements to consider when thinking of features for our final design.
Main requirements:
-
Allow users to get immediate support when put in an unsafe or uncomfortable position
-
Allow users to see real-time data for where other people are currently located
-
Allow users to plan a route that avoids dangerous sections of the Ave
STORYBOARDS
Once we finalized the design requirements, we constructed storyboards that simulate a possible scenario in which a user might interact with our product. Storyboards help contextualize when, how, and why a user could interact with our product. My storyboard showcases a participant The storyboard helped us figure out the most important requirements in the making of the information architecture diagram.
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
The information architecture diagram is a hierarchical structure that organizes the features of the product. Design requirements were translated into necessary features of the app and were then placed as branches of the information architecture tree. Organizing the necessary features in this way facilitated the making of our paper prototype by listing groups of features necessary for each screen.
