Week 5
Mar. 1 – Mar. 5
Reflecting on the feedback from 1/4s walkarounds and sitdowns, this week we came up with three ideas – timeline with adjustable filters rings, create your own album cover and a 3D space to freely navigate to feel the expanse of The HistoryMakers. By the mid week we created mock ups for the ideas. Upon our pitch to the client, they approved of specific parts from all the ideas. Now our task was to pick these key elements and compile them into one idea.
We brainstormed and came up with different combinations. Polishing the idea of creating a record player with inbuilt filter rings in a 3D library of all the HistoryMakers, we created storyboard, user flow and moodboards. Researching the filters, data, navigation in 3D space on desktop and mobile, we started building the first desktop version of the prototype for this idea.
This week we also submitted the team poster and 1/2 sheet after design revisions upon faculty’s feedback.
As we put together a prototype to present in the coming week’s instructors and client meetings, the week ended with scheduling playtests with students from ETC and Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion, CMU.
