Tasks
We offered 3 tasks:
(1) Try the first lesson from the main page
(2) Find Leonardo Da Vinci's drawing techniques
(3) Draw a picture of flower and get a computer feedback
(3) Try to redraw Mona Lisa and get the final feedback
Usability issues
Users can't find the "Try lesson" button on the main page.
Fix: Change button's color and form
Users commented that main page overwhelmed with pictures
Fix: Rearrange and reposition pictures on the page
Users commented that there are too many steps between the first choice of the technique and the beginning of drawing
Prototype iterations
Since GR2 we decides to put more attention to the following details:
1) user understanding of how to do initial preparations
2) steps users needs to take to find necessary technique
3) structure, design and interface of the main page
4) process of choosing level of difficulty
So we decide to refine our paper protypes according to this aims.
