Week 7: Journal (Experience with Paper Prototyping)

 Today, We had a contact session with paper prototype. I had shocking news that Joey dropped a semester for personal issue so we had only two people, Josh and me. We had to work on the paper prototype with only two of us. We decided to show our prototype first and go around later. 

 We set up our prototype and give people scenarios. One scenario was that first two videos is very boring and the third one is quite interesting. Other is that user want to search the cat video. I did mistake at this point. I shouldn`t let people know next step after the first scenario but I gave them instruction to make them add the video to playlist. 

 Most people tested the prototype quite well. They used 'skip button' to move to next button and also used 'keep watching' button to watch whole video. However, some people was struggling with adding playlist and were embarrassed when the countdown is going. We also created quick button to move to playlist but some people didn`t know how to use it. 

 After testing prototype, we`ve got some feedback. People gave feedback in terms of layout of the webpage and some functions. They recommended us to put 'keep watching', 'count down' and 'skip' buttons on the same line because they are the main functions. Also, they suggested us to remove the queue for the random videos not to let people know the upcoming videos because our webpage`s aim is to show random video. 

 We also went around to test other groups` paper prototype. Josh and I tested PopEcloud, which is a website about politicians, and fighting game with famous people. It was fun to test and give them feedback. I could experience various ideas and prototype. I`m learning digital prototype as well so this session was familiar to me.
