Lecture 6 – User Scenarios
A scenario is a narrative describing foreseeable interactions of types of users (characters) and the system. Scenarios include information about goals, expectations, motivations, actions and reactions.
Scenarios are neither predictions nor forcasts, but rather attempts to reflect on or portray the way in which a system is used in the context of daily activity.
Personas & Scenario – Angela
Scenario:
Angela has a short 30-minute layover in an unfamiliar airport. She really wants to grab a cup of coffee before she heads to her connecting flight, but doesn’t know where to go.
Angela now uses the airport guide to find the store before her flights. Cooper created 2 screens with just a list and map. This makes it simply and easy for anyone to use while in the airport.
Reflection:
In this lecture, personas and scenarios show the importance when designing. Both personas and scenarios link together to create a final visual for the creator (designer) to make a final product that the audience can relate to. After this lecture, I went into more development of my user personas, and how I could add it all into my app when designing and during the process of prototyping.
