Week 8

This week, we had to present our project progress back to the class, I had decided on a topic, using the dataset of all of my tinder matches who either I have engaged with or if they have engaged with me. I am using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data, things such as hair colour, height, occupation, how attractive I find them on a scale of 1-5 etc.






This was a model I used which helped me to determine the type of data I want to collect from people. 



I also did some further research into how tinder users are engaging with the app.

We were introduced to the project this week and encouraged to find a data set that would challenge us to effectively communicate the data. We were also shown some examples of projects which were effective examples of how last years data sets were employed and we were also given an overview of the differences of qualitative and quantitative data.

Week 1: This week started out learning about what information design is and with some activities. We were put into groups and given a task to do. It was really interesting to note that there was a bunch of information that we completely disregarded until we were given a scenario in which it was crucial to have that info.  We also had a discussion on data visualisation and information design and set a task of selecting an over the counter medication and getting a couple of people to answer the medicine questionnaire.  We were encouraged to think outside the box, so I opted for an MDMA testing kit which was available from cosmic. I thought this would be a really unique and interesting option and something that would test me, particularly as the packaging contained a bit of information overload. From this User Testing, it was clear that there is a lot of work to be done on this packaging. We were asked to collect examples of infographics, data vis...

This week we created initial prototypes and user tested these to see their effectiveness. There were still a lot of areas to improve on, but I felt that this gave me a good starting point. It was recommended that I look into adjusting the languaging used within the packaging to appeal more to a younger demographic. It's meant to be a fun thing, but the packagings languaging makes it sound so serious. It was suggested I explore the languaging that festivals use in order to determine how I should reword it. I looked into both this and how drug testing stations work too.  And after a lot of refinement this was what I altered it too: At each of the lanuaging development stages I conducted user testing. I tried both a serious and fun approach to see which one resonated with my user more. I have attached their interviews below
