Week 7
In week 7 we started working on our high fidelity prototype. We were looking at the simple hand-drawn designs and taking them a step further. The software we were using was Mockflow. This allowed us to pull in different assets onto a page to build our designs with something more interactive than pencil on paper.
However we quickly ran into a problem with using Mockflow, it only allowed us to make three pages at a time. We needed more than five, so we found a workaround. We would design a page in Mockflow, screenshot it and then delete it. We would then paste the image of the page into a power point with the intention of using power point's hyperlinking ability to make the pages interactive. The ultimate goal was to get the PowerPoint working on a phone so that the interactivity could be tested on our intended platform.
Week 8
We started week 8 with a few of our pages completed in Powerpoint. We had the home page, the login page and the we'd started our workouts page.
It wasn't long before we'd finished another few pages because MockFlow seemed to be very accommodating for what we needed, except when it came to the settings page. The settings page we wanted needed to be created from scratch because nothing MockFlow offered matched.
After finishing the layout of all of our pages, we now used PowerPoint's tools to add hyperlinks to buttons to allow us to use the UI as if it were really working. For example, we could swipe up on the music bar at the bottom of the screen and it would open up in full shown in the diagram above. Our high fidelity prototype was now ready for evaluation.
