| Vincent starts by creating a new trip. He enters in the destination with a textbox that has autocomplete with locations. Since he will be flying to Europe, he picks the plane icon, along with the male symbol. He then selects the 12 days he will be there using the calendar module that appears as he clicks the date. | Pros - Easy to learn because there are simple icons that the user sees which immediately describe what the icon represents without unnecessary words (aka, picture of airplane = travel there by plane) Cons- Lack of text may be slightly longer for user to figure out whats going on | Pros- Autocomplete provides efficiency Cons | Pros - Allows the user to reselect icons if the wrong one is Cons- After hit the "go" button, user cannot edit travel | |
| After he hits go, a selection of items are selected and automatically placed in his backpack. However, because he is a hat-enthusiast, he decides to bring along 12 hats with him, increasing the weight of his backpack, and now notices that a luggage symbol has appeared, suggesting that bringing just a backpack may no longer be appropriate. | Pros - Easy metaphor: items can be dragged into container, just like real packing Cons | Pros - Drag and drop provides efficiency Cons- Adding/deleting items may take longer than necessary | Pros - Adding/deleting items may take longer than necessary Cons- Not easy to delete/add item because you have to open backpack |
|
| Once he is satisfied, he clicks the checklist tab, and he begins to pack, checking off the items as he goes. | Pros - User has most likely encountered a checklist before, so easy to use this one Cons- Doesn't allow user to add any items, so doesn't support some functionality of normal checklists | Pros - Simple checklist, user can find all items in this checklist Cons- If user is looking for a specific item, has to look through | Pros - User can delete items or uncheck items they don't want Cons- No way to recover an item if a user deletes it | |
| Before he leaves, he clicks the trip information tab, and he remembers that bringing a camera could be a good idea as there may be times for sightseeing. | Pros - Simple text page, nothing new to learn Cons- User doesn't know what to do if they want more information | Pros - All information in one location Cons- User may want too see only packing tips, must scroll to | Pros - User can easily navigate to and away from this page Cons |
