Case analysis - update

In view of the above functions such as listing, Time management，planning, immersive learning, supervision mechanism, and resolving bad emotions, Analysis of the status quo of the solution:


Focus Matrix – an application based on the method of Chairman EISENHOWER 



Functions: In Focus Matrix, the aim is to place your items into one of four categories. This is designed to make it easier when it comes to prioritizing the right one. 

Strengths: Simple functional design and clear purpose


Weaknesses: If users need to use more features, they need to update and pay





Forest



Functions: Motivate yourself to reach your daily goals
                Gamified timer
                Track your focused moments
                Earn rewards and unlock new tree species
                

Strengths: It proposes the abstract concept of shifting attention from mobile phones to interesting games. In addition, it allows you to donate to real-world afforestation non-profit organizations

Weaknesses: It would be better if they could have the ability to add natural background sounds. Gamification is the basic element to increase motivation, but it will be better to add some reward system.



Unstuck - Provide efficiency suggestions for procrastinators


Functions: Unstuck is an APP product that can provide users with suggestions. The product will draw a report based on the current emotion selected or filled in by the user, the type of distress, the specific description of the distress, the user's current thoughts, and the user's behavior. Provide suggestions to users.


Strengths: This app can quickly solve the user's delayed decision-making ability, and give different suggestions for different people. I think it is worthy of reference. Many procrastination groups are mainly due to delays in quick decision-making and their lack of the ability to make timely decisions on things that require decision-making.


Weaknesses: Maybe the visual design can be improved.







Evaluation

Existing applications have some shortcomings (for example, lack of beautiful interface design, lack of good interactivity and usability), next, I will investigate the application interface, for example, which colors or styles are suitable for college students.

The degree project 'Study up' is an application for Mac OS devices, The purpose of this app project is to help university students relieve academic procrastination. The final project outcome is a link to the interactive prototype made by Axure RP10, and a promotional poster with a QR code, which is also suitable for flyers and website advertising. This prototype link can be opened by mac and windows system computers or iPad devices. It is not recommended to open it on mobile phones. Because the original intention of the design is to try not to let users be Cell phone interruption. This project is highly related to interactive art design and digital media art. It requires all the skills I learned about digital media art through the digital media art course, visual design, and interaction design.  Compared with other procrastination apps and task-management apps on the market, similar application interfaces on the market cannot attract users, so I have to remodel this point.

Axure RP10 - Interactive prototyping process

After I used Figma to design the first draft, I imported the wireframe into Axure. I used the Axure RP 10.0.0 3826 version. Importing is not supported below this version. I have a student license, so I can use it for free.  The page size of the app I designed is 1440 1020, I imported all the artwork of the Figma into Axure, and then I can carry out the next step of interface design and interaction design in Axure.  After I put in the icons and illustrations, I started to interact with the interactive buttons on each page. Although the button fingertip interaction is relatively easy, it is very troublesome and trivial. If one of the buttons is not set to interact, the user will not be able to use it smoothly. Although the button fingertip interaction is relatively easy, it is very troublesome and trivial.
