  1. Scenario: Clear and concretely described scenario.

    Preliminary designs: Individual Designs: There were some very varied individual designs, both visually and in terms of usability characteristics. The use of a physical metaphor in one of the designs was interesting! Also, designing for a small screen was a good stretch, as well as the ultra-safe design.

    Storyboards: Very clearly laid out, thoroughly described and easy to follow and all the analyses was present for each storyboard. There was a clear synthesis of the individual designs, too. The analysis for each esign could have benefitted from being very explicit in applying the concepts that we've learnt from class (e.g., learning by exploring, internal consistency and external consistency of widgets used compared to those used in other systems, Fitt's law in some UIs, KLM for those that require combinations of key-presses and clicks, etc.) However, I think overall it is really well done!

    Wiki Presentation: Clean and clear!
