This project was intended to explore the issues and design challenges around mobile information systems. Starting at a Main Menu
screen, we have designed interfaces that allow users to navigate information in the completion of Finding tourist sites to explore.
During this process we created a persona to drive the design process. This persona is a person with a strong need for accessing the specific information in a mobile context.
This was an information retrieval focused assignment. The assignment was to design a system that provide the relevant information easily based on the intent the
persona brings to the design situation.
During the design process we developed
(i) a navigational map,
(ii) wire frames of screens documenting one or two scenarios of use, and
(iii) a flash demonstration of onscreen navigation following the scenarios.
