Study 5
Study 5:
Statement: In study five, the idea was to refine study 4 to make it more functional and presentable. My group and I decided it would be best to leave the functionalities of the actual patch and just rearrange it using the ‘presentation mode’ tool. This would create another layer of the work which could only be viewed in the presentation mode, hiding all the unnecessary tools and connections, and focusing on what’s most important. We landed on keeping it simple, only displaying the ‘pwindow’ and sound metre whilst filling in the gaps with comments to guide the user on what to do/how it works. The challenging part of this study was to create the design for the presentation mode in a way that would help resemble the emotion we tried to display which changed to happiness based on our findings on the last study. To do this, we made the presentation playful and straight forward to help guide the user into the idea of what we wanted to achieve. In the future I want to play around with the presentation mode tool, until this study I was only familiar with the patcher tool and completed assignments through that instead of making them look neat and complete. I believe that has been a successful part of this assignment, the more appealing the study looks the more likely it is to be tested and appreciated by an audience.
