Design and Prototyping - Week 10

Designing for different culture

Guidelines:
- Ensure that the product supports international paper sizes, envelope sizes & address format.
avoid integrating text in graphics as they cannot be translated easily
- Allow for text expansion when translated from english

Company can decide whether-produce 1 site that appeal across all cultures OR tailor to each country's website to the local culture.

example: coke vs. pepsi

Using scenarios in design

- Scenarios can be used to explicate existing work situation but are more commonly used for expressing proposed or imagined situations to help in conceptual design
- 4 roles for scenarios:
  *A basis for the overall design
  *For technical implementation
  *As a means of cooperation within design teams
  *As a means of cooperation across professional boundaries i.e. in a multidisciplinary team

Generating prototypes in design

Generating storyboards from scenarios:
- Steps in the travel organizer scenario
  *Focus solely on the screen
  *Focus solely in the environment
- Generating storyboards from use cases
- Generating card-based prototype from use cases

Using prototypes in design

Prototyping physical design:
- Expand the cards to generate a more detailed software or paper-based pro type.
Tool support:
- To support sketching tools, environments to support icon and menu design to widget libraries and so on
