Purpose

Your goal is to create a design for a software interface. You will experience the scope of the design process from brainstorming ideas and gathering information about users’ needs to storyboarding, prototyping, and finally, testing and refining your product.
As you work on the software interface, you will demonstrate your ability to apply fundamental Human-Computer Interaction principles to interface analysis, design, and implementation. You will be responsible for delivering project components to your professor at several points during the course.

Action Items

You will need to decide on an idea for an interface. It could be a web site, a mobile app, an appliance touch screen, etc. Don’t make your idea too broad. Focus on something that solves a problem or fills a need. Another approach is to take an interface that is very poor and reimagine it. Your project idea needs to be sufficiently complex to show your ability to design multiple screens and interaction flows as the user carries out a small number of tasks.
1) Brainstorm ideas. You might want to use a free, online mind-mapping tool like SpiderScribe or Mindomo. Here are some questions you might want to consider to focus your brainstorming:
a) Think of a service you or your friends use. What’s the biggest avoidable hassle (inconvenience) customers must endure?
b) What happens in your daily routine that is complex or confusing? How could you simplify it?
c) Think of a domain that interests you: shopping, elementary education, exercise, social media, etc. What possibilities are there to do something new or better? What might be redesigned for newer or different technologies like smart phones or gaming platforms?
2) Narrow your choices down to the best 2 or three ideas.

Pick Your Idea and Begin to Think About Your Potential Users
1) Submit your idea to your professor for approval.
2) Format your submission using the following sections:
a) The Problem
b) Why It’s Interesting
c) Main Users Affected
d) Current Solutions
e) Shortcomings and Strengths of Current Solutions
f) Main Goals of Your Project
