Studio 8

Part 1: Design Pattern Finding

As a class we will go to the following websites to find design patterns:

These UI patterns are a good starting point, but there are also many other pattern libraries here, or you could identify new patterns.

Please use this form to design patterns.

Part 2: Paper Prototype User Testing

To prepare for HW8, we will be doing user testing of each other's paper prototypes. Do note that this is not the user testing required for HW8, but merely practice to help you prepare for it. Think of one task, as described in Exercise 2. Take turns as faciliatator and user. Make sure to explain to your subject what you are building, and what users it is for. The course staff will be observing, to give you feedback about how to better conduct user tests.

Part 3: Design Critique

After prototyping, you will be guided through peer critique of each other's prototypes and chat designs more broadly. Remember to use "I like, I wish, What if" language.
