Mid-Break.5 - Recommended Reading (7)

The next reading to be is ‘User Inyerface’ teaches you about terrible modern web design by making you suffer through it by Chaim Gartenberg (3rd of July, 2019) (https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/7/3/20681538/user-inyerface-terrible-modern-web-design-app-forms-fields).

(picture is from reading)

Notes from Webpage;

  • User interface with design is incredibly important - part of my design involves having a simple interface where the user can receive simple notfications to keep communicate need for action...when needed
  • With apps and websites, it's very noticeable when there is bad interfaces...especially (like the picture above) when you get pop-up spams it can be "virtual hell." - very negative feeling
  • The reading shows how Bagaar (a design firm), explores the worst online form - this is good to know and it shows you what not to do and what is hated, what to avoid
  • Things like "mislabeled buttons, complicated password rules, nearly impossible to close pop-up windows, slowly scrolling terms and conditions, and annoying CAPTCHA forms" are things that induce rage and hate.
  • The reading explains how Bagaar uses the app/game to show how close to reality it is...what induces rage is types of services we get

  • This reading gives me something to think about and while Im not designing a service, for my users, this horrible service and bad user interface is something they have all experienced at least once in reality...

Week 13.2 - A3 Finalising Code

Image
 Yikes! lets begin with that. It has been one hell of a ride with this code. For most of the duration of A3 I have been trying to code infrared leds and transmitters...NOT BEAM BREAKERS. It was only until last week Thursday during our tech workshops that I was finally introduced to them. Thank God for that, I was about to pull my hair-that you can't seen under my hijab-out. The Beam breakers are amazing, whoever designed them is honestly my hero. While it has taken me a couple hours to get the code, (and its still not perfect 100%) they have taken my code to not working to everything is working as it should with the expection of the display screen that is clearing at the moment. But the detection is just amazin and how accurate it is and how each stage correlates with each other. It's late and I'm happy.  The video below demonstrates the working interactions, with a couple things missing (such as buttons) for how my design will monitor the bag and inform the user through li...

Week 13.6 - Code is working!

 It has been such a rush trying to get this code together and I still haven't finished. Since the beam breakers just came this Monday, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to get this right and I think I finally got it. The video below shows a demo of my code and bow the sensors work together, how they go off when the connection is broken etc. I'm so happy that this part is over.
