Flowchart Answers

Q1.

The reasons why I want to use flowchart in my mobile interface design and screen interface design is because I can lay out the structures of the different functions that I would include in the design. I can map out easily the position of each functional buttons and which menu it interact with. It can also help me figure out problems that might occur while designing the interface. Furthermore it can help me to map out problem and solution for the interface if an error should occur. It also help me to determine whether the structure of the flowchart is easy to understand and whether it would be user friendly when implemented in real usage.

Q2.

As I have mention in Q1, by trying out the interface with mean of flowchart I could determine the user friendliness of the function buttons and menus. With easy to understand flow and logical mapping, the user would not have difficulties navigating through the menus and buttons. It also help the user to make easier choices as it is usually a yes and no situation without confusing the user. It also provide the user with prompt access as the user would be able to understand the interface with ease. Furthermore, an easy interface would make the user much more relax and happy while using it.

My Character!


Finally! Got the gif to work on the blog... took me bout 30mins of troubleshooting (nearly took out the gun and shot someone), to get it working. For some unknown reason to me, the previous gif animation posted with no problem, but this one got a bit of issues. x.x!!


Anyway, this animated gif character is call Droppie. Took bout 3 hours to make him with simple animation. It just take some effort in getting the sequence right and it is good to go. Yeah did this instead of finalising the Icons assignments. LOL.
