Scenario

Mary is a parent with three children, Andy (12), Barry (10), and Christine (7). Christine comes home from school with an invitation from her friend Daisy to a birthday party next Saturday at 2pm. Mary would like to add this event to her calendar. After adding the event, Mary would like to view the calendar to plan how to get Christine to the party. When Mary views the event, she sees that Andy has a soccer game at 2pm for which. Mary is planning to drive. Additionally, Barry has drama rehearsal at 2pm for which her husband Nick is planning to drive. Unfortunately, the soccer field, drama workshop, and birthday party are far away from one another, and Mary and Nick will not be able to drive all three children to their events. So, Mary would like to reach out to other parents or relatives to help getting all three children to their separate events. After Mary reaches out, it turns out that Christine’s best friend Eleanor who lives nearby is also going to the birthday party, and Eleanor’s mother Olivia offers to take Christine to the party. To show this, Mary would like to update her calendar to show that Olivia will be taking Christine to the birthday party.

Design Set 4 - Rodrigo

For these designs, I have focused them all on being text based, and to the extent possible, minimalism.
