Focus Group Review

I showed some of my developed designs to a focus group of students in the library for them to have a look at and i received some interesting results.

One of the key pieces of feedback I received was that my menus started off as being semi transparent. I was told that not only was this distracting as it was hard to read. But as well as this the processing power it would require to support would be to run on a mobile phone would be to much.

The next piece of feedback i received was that on my page where i was showing how the quiz would work on the phone. I was told that the page was to cluttered and over crowded and that I should reduced it down to one question per page to make it easier to read and use.

Due to feedback I had to make sure that  I dial back one of the glare effects featured on one of the templates as it was to bright and was obscuring the image.

Later on i asked my tutor during my workshop if there were any particular features that needed tweaking and the main point was that the icons I had created for the online storage demo for the website were too bright and looked like they weren’t part of the website.

I will incorporate these pieces of feedback into my further designs, which will ultimately sculpt my finished pieces of work.

Development of Website concept

I began my development of the website by getting the base theme down. The image below is the home theme with the menu open I went with the space theme as the background as I felt that it linked with the content and also it followed the style I in my Research and Development file.

Menu Demo

I decided to try some mock ups in some templates to see how they would look I especially like how my website looked on a iMac screen as it added that professional touch and also gave it a really interesting way of viewing what would of just been a flat image.timetablewebglare I was especially proud of how the below image turned out as i feel the icons looked really unique and interesting whilst still following the simplistic style my project was following.sharediconswrong

Whilst these are only some of designs that I feel I have gotten to a finished stage there will be more included in my realisation of concept.
