Prototypes: Sketchy

Sketching is always a good place to start a project. The objective of this prototype was to begin outlining the visual appearance (look/feel) and basic interaction (role) of my capstone project. I only drew a few slides, but they were enough to walk my interviewees through the general concept of the project.

The sketched artboards are below:

(Artboard one shows home, the menu, a search bar, and hesitant “star” groupings)

(Artboard two shows what happens if you click on a star. It expands to fill the screen, and the text of the story is written on the star.)

(Artboard three shows the utopia linked to the story in the previous star. It is accessed by clicking “And so I dream” or whatever text on the bottom of the previous page.)

And here is a rough information architecture that I came up with as I sketched:

Initially, I was really convinced that this was the “right” graphic and artistic style for this project, but as I go, I’m becoming less convinced. This means that more sketches will probably be coming, so stay posted.
