Page History

...

Below is our second paper prototype of Remote Playlist. We created an empty page template on paper and cut out different image/text elements to place on the template. The functions we decided to include in the paper prototype include login, signup, creating party playlists, uploading songs, and voting on songs.

Wiki MarkupAfter our users sign up and login, they are greeted on the top right corner with "Welcome, \ [username\]". There is a splash image that gives the user some directions on how to use the website. We plan to simplify this image by showing a three step procedure: 1. Create a party playlist, 2. Vote on songs you like, 3. Party like a rockstar\!

Wiki MarkupOur party promoter user just created a new playlist for "Mardi Gras Party." He entered the party information on the homepage \the homepage [figure. 1\] and is shown an empty playlist with an "upload track" that open a file selection dialogue when clicked. We plan to include a "Share" feature in future iterations that give the user the options to place the link to this playlist on Facebook and other social media sites.

After our party goer user searches for "Mardi Gras," he is shown a list of parties with the closest match appearing first. We plan to include more information about the party including date/time in future iterations.

One of our "party goer" users finds the "Mardi Gras Party" and sees that there is little to no music on the playlist. He attempts to upload music by clicking on the "Upload track" and votes for music by clicking on the thumbs up icon.

Briefing

The two major users types were the party promoter and the party goer. The party promoter user approached the website with the background of being in charge of promoting his or her event. The party goer was characterized as being a typical college student that often went to parties on the weekends and was familiar with the format of listening to music in a party setting.

Scenario Tasks

We gave the users different tasks based on their user type. The party promoter user was tasked first with creating an event, then uploading at least one song to their event's playlist. The party goer user was tasked with finding the event they planned on attending and voting on a song in the playlist of that event.
