Methods
In our efforts to create the best possible high-fidelity prototypes, we carried out the following research methods, while utilizing key principles of information architecture and interaction design:
User Interviews, Observations, & Questionnaires
Card Sorting & Tree Testing
Competitive Analysis
Low-Fidelity Prototype User Testing
With the above research and the data analysis of our findings, we were able to create the following deliverable milestones, along with accompanying research briefs to guide our own designing of high-fidelity prototypes (the final deliverable):
Personas
Site Map
Competitive Analysis Review
High-Fidelity Prototypes
Tools
Lucidchart: Online design program utilized for the sitemap.
Sketch: Design program used for low and high fidelity prototypes.
InVision: Program used to host and provide interactivity to our low and high fidelity prototypes.
Optimal Workshop: Online service used for card sorting and tree tests.
Google Drive (Slides and Sheets): Utilized for persona, competitive analysis, and additional table creation.
