Breakdown of what I was responsible for:
Document
- Compiling everyone's work into a cohesive document structure.
- Content for the background research section of the document
- Supplementing things like wireframes etc with descriptions (e.g. Mayi created wireframes for us, and I wrote up a supplementary paragraph explaining them in more detail for the document)
Presentation
- Presenting the slides themselves (speaker)
- Coming up with the questions for feedback + idea to use post-it notes as a way to get feedback. I thought that this might encourage more people to provide feedback (not everyone wants to voice opinions in front of the entire class)
- Structuring the presentation slides (Lisa created the slides)
Feedback from the presentation - Lisa has collected and recorded all the feedback that was left on the post-it notes during our presentation and summarised some of the key points in a post on our team blog.
Our presentation tried to focus on presenting our intended users and the type of experience we wanted them to have on our site. I think this was mainly because we were conducting quite a bit of user interviews and persona-creation activities this week and it ended up influencing how we presented.
While I don't see this as a negative approach to take for our project's process, I think in terms of presenting an idea it was not necessarily the best way to communicate a concept. During a service design workshop I took over the winter break, one of the facilitators talked about the idea of the "Golden Nugget" in communicating an idea. Essentially this is a short and sweet sentence akin to a slogan that communicates the core idea of a concept. In terms of presenting DIY Trove, I think our concept could have used this.
