ASSIGNMENT 5: INTERACTIVE SCENARIOS

(These interactive-prototype scenarios changed some from our previous paper-prototype scenarios because we are using a new set of example photos.)

We designed our task scenarios so that they met the needs of our personas—especially Darla Garcia who uses photos flexibly to meet a broader variety of needs than some of the others. Each task we set for our paper-prototype interviewees has specific relevance. The relevance is broken down by task below:

Scenario #1

Task: Find a recent photo using time-based metadata and thumbnail information, then share with one person.

Today is Sunday late last night you were hanging out in your apartment and decided to take a picture of your cat. Your pictures automatically upload to the PhotoCat website when you take them. You want to see how this photo turned out so you need to find and view the large-size photo to be sure it’s not blurry. If it’s good you want to share it with a friend who also owns a cat.

	The user logs in the default screen is the current week. They can look for the Saturday ring. Then look in the midnight quadrant.
	Find the picture that looks like your cat, verify by rolling over and seeing the larger image. Click to add it to the Photobin.
	To share the picture. Press the 'share bin' button. Popup will appear with the pictures available for verification. Type in a recipient's [or more] email address and a message you would like to send with the picture.
	Confirmation screen appears letting you know you have shared. Click the Close link or the x button on top of the popup to return to the bulls eye.

Scenario #2

Task: Find an older photo using time-based metadata and share with multiple persons.

You took some camera phone pictures on a sailing trip on the bay about a month ago. There are some beautiful sunset pictures. You want to find the best picture and share it with a couple of your friends who were there.

	The default view is the current week, so the user needs to go back in time. One way would be to click the previous link...and traverse back through the weeks un till they found the sailing picture. Another way would be to use the drop down at the top to choose 'month' and then use previous saving clicks.
	From the month view the user click's previous to see the earlier month.
	The user realizes that the pictures aren't in the previous target..."hmm...I'll check the next one". The user would then find a grouping of pictures on the target from the sailing trip they went on.
	The user can verify the picture's content by using the larger rollover image. They would click to add some of the pictures from the sailing trip to the bin.
	The user then opens the picture from the bin, seeing its detail view and clicking 'share'. They would go through the same process to share the photograph as when they shared a group in the previous story board.

Scenario #3

Task: Find an older photo using time-based and location-based metadata and share with multiple persons.

Some of your friends and family would like to see the pictures you took over winter break on a trip to Italy. You remember it was sometime in Late January of this year. When you find the photos you are looking for, filter for 'Venice' to get rid of any extra photos that aren't actually from the trip. Find the photos and create an album to share.

	Just the the previous example. The user would move backwards in time, either by by week or by month, looking for the pictures they remember taking in Italy.
	When the user finds the pictures, they click to add images to the bin. When they have the selection they want, they press the 'create album' button. The album creation page is popped up for editing.
