Rob Green - Final Major Project

Here are the main points from my tutorial with Lorenzo that concern my design practice briefs:

• I need to look at the deliverables for my briefs and how I will present them for submission.
• One possibility is to produce a narrative to show my proposals in context, showing the viewer what the interface does in a visual manner.
• A direction I could take is looking into producing animated demos of my proposals to communicate the concepts and visuals.
• This secondary element to my design process is similar to how websites for apps communicate their products in a clear and concise manner, aiming to persuade people into downloading them.
• I need to start producing digital mockups of my proposals as soon as possible to show during the crits later this week.
• This direction means a look at not just how the app will work and look, but also how it will communicated and marketed to potential audiences.
• These changes should help give my designs the human element that they are currently lacking in.

We also discussed these issues with my design context publication:

• My design context need to be restructured to follow the processes behind interface design, to tell the story behind creating these designs.
• I need to relate interface design to people and how it works within people's lives.
• One idea is to initially focus on what functions interface design can perform for people, how people relate to these designs, how this relationship influences the delivery of the interface and then break them down into usability, emotive design and other elements.
