Taking Context into account

Design Brief

This project is trying to design a handy tool for pregnant women. Basically it’s an intelligent system that observes everything a pregnant woman eats, helping her to stay health for the baby, when cooking, shopping for food, preparing to go shopping, and dining out alone and with friends.

It’s a school project, from 05-651 Interaction Design Fundamentals at CMU taught by John Zimmerman. The main thing I did was to define and explore the behavior of how users interacting with products, services, and all the things around.

My Role

Sketch with narrative; design concepts through a storyboard that captures the experience of use; final visual design.


Bodystorming & Clustering & emergent themes

Other than the traditional way to brainstorm, this time we tried the other way – bodystorming, which was work effectively especially to come up great ideas fitting well with the context we wanted to deal with for pregnant woman:

When cooking, when shopping for food, when preparing to go shopping, and when dining out alone and with friends, what will she think? How will she do? Who will she encounter with? Why she should do this not that?

We clustered all the ideas we came up with into 4 basic categories: monitoring, recommending, social network, husband use.

Storyboards

I picked three ideas to further develop using storyboards communicating detailed interaction designs.
