Class Criticism On Prototype

We had trouble exporting our app and using it on an iPhone, so it was tested on the computer.
The biggest comments were:
 - We needed to make a register to the app
 - We need a description on what you would be uploading or taking a photo of.
 - We need to add a continue shopping button.
 - Sharing buttons on last page
 - Done button on last page
 - Look into the colour filters as they were confusing
 - Progress bar needs some work (have spaces between each bar added) and start it on first page
 - Send a receipt to your email or have a pdf to download
 - We need to make sure it is clear that you are buying a PAIR of socks

Sock It To Me App Prototype

 

 



Sock It To Me:
After looking at other retail apps we tried to keep our app simple and easy to use. Being minimalistic with colour and making sure all common buttons were in the same place on each page. Our app fits an iPhone 5.

Researching A Successful Retail User Interface

Nordstorm: I found this retail app to be a good example of an efficient and easy app. It is easy to navigate through and has main functions clearly listed.

Asos- Asos is also a veery easy app to use, It lets you browse through the entire collection and designed in a way you won't get lost. You can easily add products to your wish list and manage your account.

 

Chosen User Face On Paper

                                                                    

 After thought to have our preview on a         Having these two pages together on one page.
sock for customers to get a better vision of
what they would like.

                                                                    Thinking about just having post

                                                              Adding another image of final sock purchased.

After having someone 'use' our paper user interface we found we needed to add a progress bar through out so our customers know how far they are to purchasing their socks.

User Interface Flowgram

Our app is a retail app where you can easily upload or take a photo of textures, patterns and materials and design a custom pair of socks. These socks will then get posted to you. 

This flow gram efficiently shows how our user interface (the sock app) will work, trying to cover all bases for best customer service as our interface is a retail app.

3 User Scenarios For Group Discussion

These are our groups three user face scenarios. We have decided to go with a retail interface- the sock app, we have chosen this one as it will be interesting and could hit a good possible target audience of younger teens.

Examples Of Other User Scenarios

 Uploading and searching Iphone apps

Instagram

Siri

Purchasing online items 

All these user scenarios are easy to use step by step. Siri, although, can become irritating when not understanding what you are asking. 

Difficult And Good User Interfaces

Good userface:

Bad Userface:

Doing this exercise I found my good user interface to have a lot of extra information to search through when looking for something on the site, yet still was easy to navigate through and gave me a good outcome. My bad user interface still proved to be difficult to use because of all the unnecessary pages having to go through to get to where I wanted, also all the extra links confusing the user.
