Hey everyone, this my wireframes for Food Story (tvOS).

This is an update for the paper prototype.

User insights:

  1. The users and I have discussions about “feed”,”discover” and “my favorities”. They all have similar views. Although their functions are clearly different and their scenarios are different, I can see confusion from users’ eyes. After carefully thinking about the scenarios and the features of the tvOS, I combined the “feed” and the “discover” together.
  2.  One user mentioned that she preferred to add to her favorites at the restaurant view instead of the story view. And she had a very good reason that she paid more attention on the restaurant than the story. This conversation reveals another type of the users who focus more on the the restaurant. Although the platform is about stories, it is also very important to provide tools for people to add the restaurant into their folders, which actually fit the scenarios.
  3. One of the users felt upset about the locked social functions. For the recent experience with apple TV, which it is still very difficult to type on, social functions are less necessary.

New Forker Final

Project 2

My 1st project STORE IT cannot be expanded to the TVOS platform due to its functionality and goals. As Drew suggested I would be taking an existing app (which is not already in apple tv app store)and will expand it to the TVOS platform. I researched a lot of food apps on the app store and finally chose All Recipes Video cookbook app , due to the nature of the content , which i though will be more appropriate for the living room environment.

Here is the link to my Presentation Project 2

For March 10

Everyone will be presenting next week. You’ll have 5-6 minutes for presentation and feedback.

  • Read the Apple TV HIG
  • Adapt your project 1 conecpt to as an Apple TV app. You don’t need to recreate all the same functionality. Think about what would intersect well with your phone concept and the new TV context
  • Create an app map and wireframes to document your proposed Apple TV food app functionality
  • If you have access to an Apple TV spend some time playing some games and apps. I’m not sure, but I bet that Apple stores have them set up to play with.

Cookgram: Final Presentation & Prototype

Presentation Slides

Concept: Cookgram is a recipe app where users can post their recipes as well-designed recipe album. All they need to do is take a picture every step, and then add texts.

It will be a community to explore, collect, make your own, and share recipes.

I didn’t quite happy with the previous ui design, so I redesigned the UI for the final presentation. Previous prototype can be found in my last post. 

Prototype 

Feedbacks from critics:

  1. Nice & clean UI design
  2. State the goal of the app: everyone can make pretty interactive
  3. Design the “camera” bigger and more popped up because the camera function is a bigger one in this app.
  4. Rename the “Home” icon to “Account/Profile”
