Assignment Title: Validation
Due Date: Week 11 at the beginning of class
Worth: 30 %
Learning Outcomes/Description
As we end the Design Thinking process, our final stage is User Testing, otherwise known as Design Validation. In this assignment we will employ the lessons learned throughout the entire course, but now prepare a user testing script and conduct a user test with a prototype.
Materials Required
Pen & Paper, Design Software, Internet
Detailed Instructions
Design validation may be one of our most important tools when it comes to designing for users. How will we know our design assumptions are correct without proper testing with the users that will be interacting with our product?
In this final assignment you will use the entire design thinking process and design a user interface for a car’s dashboard- specifically it’s center console. It will include:
- Home screen
- Music: radio
- Music: Spotify/iTunes
- Map / directions
- Settings
- Any other screens uncovered during your user research
In addition, you will test your prototype with at least 3 users (online or offline). After your testing is concluded, you will compile your findings and systemize user feedback into revisions for your prototype. Explain your design choices based on your user feedback.
Keep in mind, that when it comes to automobiles, one size does not fit all, and nor should its car’s interior design. Identify your users and design your dashboard for them!
This assignment will be presented in class in front of your peers. Your presentation should include:
- user research
- user persona
- ideation notes
- lo-fi prototype
- testing script
- revised protype based on feedback
