Esmaa & Sara - Derive assignment

The app sended us tothe south to find something hand made..So we found a monument of a fox.

walk towards the mountains..no mountains so walked to the tallest building.

Walk 2 streets further and go to the left.

Walk to something that is under construction and then walk to the right after the 2nd street.

Search for a public transport and follow it -> Chose to take the tram to Kruisplein.

Follow a line to the end and we came to a bridge.

Follow the tallest building for 7 min.

Go to a quiet place.

Go straight on until you can no longer go straight. We ended up in westzeedijk.

Now we have to go to a place where it's dark.

Go to a place with the most clouds. Or away from the sun...So we just tried to follow a place with dark clouds

Follow the sun..we imagined one ourselves. The Billboard was our sun.

Short Logbook about our walks:

Concept Ideas

1. Regen = onze derive werd beïnvloed door de regen, we kozen het openbaar vervoer in plaats van te lopen. we kunnen een route bedenken waar je het minst last hebt van de regen.

2. Donker en licht, kan samen gaan met het idee van veiligheid. Wat nu erg in het nieuws is , is straatintimidatie dat vrouwen/meisjes vaak veel moeten doen om zich veilig te voelen op straat. ( we zouden een app kunnen maken die een route laat zien die veilig is, zoals waar veel mensen zijn, winkels, licht en niet donker etc)

3. Imagination = de vraag was loop naar de zon, we konden door de wolken en gebouwen om ons heen niet de zon zien dus kozen we een bilboard als de zon. We zouden iets kunnen maken geïnspireerd op bijvoorbeeld pokemon go, dat je spelende wijs loopt en punten kan verzamelen.

4. No more suprises = Niet alle stoeppaden waren makkelijk toegankelijk doordat ze huizen gingen renoveren. Een app die je dat van te voren laat zien zodat je niet voor verrassingen staat als je onderweg bent. On time weten waar paden vol met regen water liggen, teveel sneeuw, gesloten, een ongeluk heeft plaats gevonden of dat de brug open staat etc. Deze app zorgt ervoor dat je dan niet telaat komt voor bijv school, een afspraak etc omdat die optijd je de juiste weg geeft om zonder verrassingen op weg te gaan.

5. Ook een soort gelijke idee als nummer 1; Een route bedenken dat bij het weer/jou voorkeuren pas. Om zo droog mogelijk te blijven, of zoveel mogelijk on de zon of schaduw te lopen of waar de wind het minst sterk is. Ook geeft die van te voren aan of het zal gaan regenen/hagelen zodat je optijd kunt schuilen...Misschien ook een optie dat de app mogelijke plaatsen aangeeft om te schuilen?

Test plan
- Is it clear that these colors represent morning, afternoon and night?

-What do you think these buttons are going to do?

What are we testing:
-Theme colors
-Function of the buttons
-Readability
-Meaning of the symbols
-Is it clear how you open the story?
-Is it clear how to come/walk to the story?
-Is the function of the app clear?
-Is it clear how you can put your own story in?
-Do you miss a function when you write your story?

Our first concept was to create a save travel route for women to avoid places that doesn’t feel save for them. They can use select what kind of places they want to avoid so the app can calculate a route which the user prefers.

After our feedback session we had a brainstorm session and decided to change our concept to a more like story telling route app. In this app the user can a man, woman or youngster. In here the app will let the user can use the route planner to get to there destination in the meanwhile the app will show stories nearby of others that walked there. The user can click on it and the app will share the story someone else has experienced at that place. They app will show the route that the writer of the story took while the user can read or listen to the story. This way the user can learn new routes, places, knowing what people experienced there and knowing but those stories which places can be dangerous, beautiful or fun to walk.

We are still thinking if we still want to use the routeplanner in de app or just leave it.

Feedback session/decisions :

• Think about the safety of the app, man can also download the app and know the route the user will take
• Maybe you can educate the man about it. Why they shouldn’t do it or think about how the woman feel about it.
• Think about educating the man without them knowing it, like it’s hidden
• Interesting concept, its definitely something people have to be reminded to
• In some cultures it’s normal, with making noise and talking. Is there a need to create that for woman

After the feedback we had a brainstorm session together and decided to change the concept a bit, also because there are a lot of problems we have to think for the app, but also realized that we can’t solve in 2 days. So we changed the app into a story telling derive.

Arjen gave us also feedback on Wednesday and told us our first concept was more interesting(but also understood that it would be hard in a short time.) So he told us to make it more specific with the stories, so it won’t be to much. After this class we thought to combinate out two concepts. So people can write there own story an can follow stories of others. The stories will be about there experience at some places when they felt unsafe.

Leila Essanoussi reaction

Is it clear that these colors represent morning, afternoon and night?

"Yes, the colors do give me the feeling what they stand for"

-What do you think these buttons are going to do?
"They will give me stories that fits my choices, althought I don't know why I have to choose the daytime at the start? Does it effect which stories will be shown to me?"

What are we testing:
-Theme colors
"I do like the idea, it gives me a new kind of look to the app and a vibe"

-Readability?

"Yes it is easy to read it, nice lettertype."

-Meaning of the symbols?
"They are understanding, but because its an app to followe stories and create your own, maybe you can add a plus icon somewhere so I know where I have to go to write my own"

-Is it clear how you open the story?
"Very clear and easy to do"

-Is it clear how to come/walk to the story?
"Yes, just following the line the app shows"

-Is the function of the app clear?
"yes it is, I don't know if I would use it, but that is also because I don't want to to places wher these kind of things happens. But because I can also read it without following I would do it"

-Is it clear how you can put your own story in?
"No, I don't know where I should click to write my own"

-Do you miss a function when you write your story?
"Well I do feel that I miss a lot, but maybe its because it's not finished yet"
