What is the difference between medium fidelity and high fidelity prototypes? In a previous blog post, I discussed how I created a low-fidelity prototype of my for the town of Southington, CT. This type of prototype did not pay any attention to details and instead focused more on getting my ideas out on paper withContinue reading “Creating the Final Interactive Prototype for the Southington App”

What is user testing? There are many steps when creating a website or even an app. It always includes planning, sketching, wireframes, or low-fidelity prototypes, and now it is all about the user testing. User testing helps to determine how the app, in this case, is functioning so far and what potential users think aboutContinue reading “User Testing the Southington App”

What is a low-fidelity prototype? Creating the app perfectly is still too soon. Instead, creating a much simpler prototype is the next step. A low-fidelity prototype allows for the designer to plan out and give some possibilities of what many of the screens would look like through every little detail and little to color. GraemeContinue reading “Low-Fidelity Prototyping – Southington App”

What is a User Flowchart? Using an app to find the information the user may need for whatever reason needs to be easy to find and in the shortest route possible. A user flowchart allows for a visual representation of that process to help make sure the app flows smoothly with every decision and actionContinue reading “User Flowcharts”

Web design allows for everything to be large and easy for people to read what they need and have an easy time finding everything. However, when it comes to an app on a phone it becomes more challenging for the obvious reason, the size. More and more people nowadays are always on the go andContinue reading “Companion App Information Architecture”

There is always some kind of plan or outline before a project can begin. Whether it is a painting, a building, or even a website and app there is a basic idea of how everything is organized. Without creating a plan, problems will arise and it can cost thousands and valuable time to fix itContinue reading “Website Information Architecture”

What is the Ideation Phase? After all the research is done the next step is to come up with solutions, no matter how bad or crazy they are. This is more commonly known as the Ideation Phase. This can become stressful at times since one or a combination of these ideas will be the officialContinue reading “App Ideation: Dream Escapes”

We all at some point jump right into the deep end of creating a design of some kind. We add colors, images, and all the bells and whistles that come with a design, and then decide to fix and change it from thereon. While no one wants to admit that we have done this, itContinue reading “The Ideation Phase”
