  • Project 1: Collaborative project – Virgin Wines – I heard I through the grape vine

    After completing our heuristics and competitor research, we had a plethora of questions for Virgin Wines. Fortunately, Jay, Graham, and Chelsea were able to answer a few of them, but we had to send the questions in beforehand. Because of this, our team came together to conduct another live post-it note session, as we thoroughly…

  • Project 1: Collaborative project – Virgin Wines – a grape rivalry

    Competitor Research After completing our heuristics, we moved on to competitor research. This is probably my weakest skill at this moment in the project. For previous projects, I feel my competitor research has always been lacking. I expressed this to my team, and after a small group meeting, we decided that I would focus on…

  • Project 1: Collaborative project – Virgin Wines – Heuristic Beginnings

    For the sake of clarity, part of week two will be covered in this post, as our heuristics ran over into week two. There will still be a week 2 recap as we move onto competitive research and other tasks, but some heuristic tasks that happened in week 2 will be discussed here. Getting Started…

  • Project 7 – Essay Essentials

    As of writing this, I’m low on time so it’ll be brief. Going into project 7 I had starry eyes. Within the first two weeks of the project being given to us, I had finished the writing section of the essay. However, in typical Rob fashion, I left the proper in-text citations until the end……

  • Project 6 – sliding into your DMs

    The presentation slides were easy to make. From last years UX presentations and from what I learned at Sync the City I knew that the slides had to be simple. The first section follows a similar script to the promo video. A call to action. It was important to me to relate the problem to…

As the video is available in the submission folders I wont post on here but I’ll discuss the few issues I had producing it.IssuesSo the first issue I ran across was the pool infographic. I foolishly presumed it would just work but I quickly realised how much processing power…

  • Project 6 – The magic world of communication

    To start off project 6 I started with creating a promo video. This was a three-step process.1. Paper ideation/story board2. Figma style frames3. Animatics4. Fully animated after effects video In this post, I will cover steps 1,2,3 as there wasn’t much that changed throughout this. These steps were pretty straightforward. To get the message across…

  • Project 5 – The Sage

    The sage looks up from his resting place and asks me a riddle. “Why?” At this stage in the project timeline, the app needs to be finished and I didn’t have any more time to work on it. I did one 41-minute User test with a quite thorough and helpful housemate. As I didn’t have…

  • Project 5 – The peak

    As I reach the top of the climb my device goes off once again. This time when I look upon it the plans have now fully developed. It’s a service that offers cheap high quality veg. The idea I had planted in my head during the visit to the island. What does this mean? Was…
