Week 6: Application purpose and target problem illustration + first look at our appliction

Week 6

Application purpose and target problem and the first look at our application.

First look at our application.

A.     Description of this week work.

Together this week we discussed our application purpose , solved problem and its functions in depth.

our outcomes were:

*Application Name:

We named our application iCloset , as iPhone, iPad etc. which is a reference to todays modern life style. The second reason we think it is a good name is because it means, personal use as My closet which shows a prefer idea about what the App contain. The third advantage about it is that it is a short and catchy name so users can easily remember it and found it.

*Application purpose and target problem :

We designed the application to:

- Give fashion advices.

- Save the money on stylists.

- Connect people with a community that share the same interests.

- Provide convenient shopping .

Problems it solves:

- The difficulty of real shops and online shopping.

-The lack of trustful friends to give style advices.

-Styling expense.

- Unreliability of online shopping.

- Overstocking cloth and not knowing how to style them.

We think our application is important and original because not too many App assess the user in that way. The target user will vary as the application solves problems that may happen to a lot of people from different ages.

*Application functions:

Main page:

As the group suggested we removed the 3d model and let the application more easier so the user would see easily the main functions without being distracted.

Go shopping.

We changed the section window that contained many items in on small area to view one item at time so the size will be suitable for the phone screen.Also we adapted the navigation method so it is no more functional.

We chose this as a drag item method to add cloth so it feels more realistic.

    B.     Reflection on teamwork.

Every week, I manage the meetings place and time based on the team's time table. Jack send a letter of our meeting hours to teacher. We all come prepared with materials and do some research before team meeting. Each member of our team is being very respectful for the team time and ideas , there is not any power conflict but all working to make this project one of the best and deliver it on time.

In designing the app pages we were strictly observing the small details on the page and questioning its functionality for the user. Then come up with ways to enhance our App look and performance. When we were all happy about it we took pictures of it and divided the functions between us so every member would photoshop a function this because our App pages was too many and we need to test and finalise the app on time.
