Assignment 6: Abstract Prototypes for Collaborative Calendars

The purpose of this assignment:

To refine your design into a visual layout and widget choices for the physical interface, and give us an opportunity to discuss physical interface design issues.

Please do the following:

As usual, you should turn this work in as individuals, but may work with up to 2 other students to discuss the assignment and try the methods on each other.

In this assignment it is important that your work is consistent with and a refinement of the work of previous assignments. In other words, prior design representations should inform the work you do here, and not be ignored.

  1. Look again at the portions of these articles that discuss refinement ot visual layout.

  2. Refine your contexts from Assignment 4 (also looking at your sketches from Assignment 5) into a canonical abstract prototype using the canonical abstract component notation.

  3. Then translate this into a mockup of your physical (visual and interaction) interface design.

  4. Make a web page that includes all of the documents you created. Include a paragraph or two discussing any issues encountered or lessons learned while making the abstract prototype and visual/physical interface design.

  5. Submit your assignment in the disCourse discussion for Assignment 6 (the URL of your page will be the "web address" of the thread).

  6. Comment on at least the assignment submitted before you, and preferably on more, for participation credits.

Due 3/6 (extended from 3/2)
