GR3: Paper Prototyping

Prototype Photos

Digital photos of the pieces of your prototype. Show the prototype in interesting states; don't just show a blank window. Although you will iterate your paper prototype during this assignment, the photos only need to show one iteration.

Briefing

As detailed in GR1, two user classes (hosts and commenters) interacts with our interface.

Briefing for Hosts

"You are requesting feedback about a digitized visual art work that you have been working on. You use ArtBark to collect tangible, actionable feedback to improve your art piece. This comprises two stages that are separated in time: 1) uploading the work and requesting the customized feedback from specific individuals and 2) browsing through the feedback after it has been received."

Briefing for the Commenters

"Your feedback about a visual art work is being solicited. You want to help the requester improve the art piece you are about to see." 

Scenario Tasks

Tasks for Hosts

Host Task 1 (Feedback request stage):

Upload the digital visual work ("Countryside Landscape v3.0") you want to get feedback on. This an updated version of one of your existing art piece (Project "Countryside") you've previously requested feedback on.

Host Task 2  (Feedback request stage):

You want to direct the type of critique you get. This art piece is another iteration of your previous work, and at this point, you are only interested in feedback about Technique and of Emotional nature (in addition to general comments). You wish to get feedback from your peers Meelap and Katrina, and from one of your mentor, Rob. However, you don't want feedback from your peers to be visible to the mentor(s). 

Host Task 3 (Feedback view stage):

You got a notification that feedback that feedback was entered for your latest version and go to ArtBark. First, find out what are the comments (not specific to an area in your art-piece), coming only from your peers: you are interested in both general (non-categorized) comments, and those about "Technique". Then, given what you read, you find out all comments (coming from all reviewers) that are specific to the tree in your art piece

Host Task 4 (Feedback view stage):

One of your mentors, Haoqi (who you knew would be too busy to review your updated art piece this time around) had an interesting comment on a previous version, that you feel you have ignored, but you are not sure what it was. Find out all comments coming from your mentor(s), on the Feb 22 version of your art piece.

Task for Commenters

Commenter Task 1:

You get an email request for feedback from your peer and clicking on it opens up the corresponding art work. Now, enter a comment stating that you disagree with the other reviewer's comment (Meelap) on the right. Make it clear that your comment is of "Emotional" nature. Then, rate this art piece accordingly.

Commenter Task 2:

You want to enter a comment regarding the "Technique" used, specifically for the Foilage of the Tree. Make sure the artist can easily identify where on the art piece this comment is relevant. Oops! You actually meant to have the comment regarding the Foilage be about "Context" (there are no leaves in the winter season!). Edit the type of comment, as well as its wording.

Commenter Task 3:

This piece reminds you of another digital art work you can find the URL for online. Let the feedback requester know about it. 

Observations

Usability problems you discovered from the testing. Describe critical incidents encountered by the users, but don't record users' names. Record these as a series of high-level takeaways, focusing on the usability problems you saw, rather than what each participant did. For instance, you might describe how you had some learnability issues with your prototype, as evidenced by users B and C clicking all of the menus to try to find option X.

Detailed Notes from user testing

Usability problems for Hosts

Feedback request stage:

  • Hosts have issues with the upload (Learnability, Efficiency)
  • Hosts are unclear about the meaning of "private" and "public" groups (Learnability, Safety)
  • Hosts need to define list of people for a group

Feedback view stage:

  • Hosts expects the timeline to be draggable to view different versions (Learnability)
  • Hosts may want to filter comments and annotation from more than one (but less than all) groups, rather than toggle with tabs (Efficiency) 

Usability problems for Commenters

  • Commenters wanted to edit/change their comments and annotations, as well as the category of feedback for these (Safety)
  • Commenters are confused about the difference between annotations and general comments, and with the ways to create annotations - by clicking and by dragging (Learnability)
  • Commenters can be unsure which category to select for their comments/annotations, forced choices (Efficiency)
  • Commenters want to move their annotation if they did not pin it in the right place (Safety) 

Prototype iteration

You did two rounds of paper prototyping. Describe how your prototype changed between those two rounds.
