Q. Define interaction design and describe how it is different from information architecture, product design and visual design.

ANSWER

Interaction design concerns the user behaviors and actions during a user flow of an interface.

Information architecture revolves around how information on the website is structured. Product design concerns the creation of the new product; visual design focuses on the aesthetics of a site and enhances its contents by implementing elements like images, colors, fonts, etc.

Interaction design is where various factors (such as environment, people, devices, etc.) are taken into consideration to create an engaging experience for the users. It also helps create meaningful relationships between people and the products and services

Q. Identify one app that you use getting information/updating information online that you would not be able to perform on a website. From this app, list the category, features, what functions do you use and why, what you like about it as compared to other competitors.

ANSWER

Snapchat

- Category: Instant Messaging 

- Features: Filters, Lenses, Music Identifier (Shazam), Capturing memories, Self-destruct photos and videos, video/image messaging, streaks, location identifiers, QR code scanner

- Functions used is instant messaging by taking photos, which allows us to convey so much more (in visual terms) to the recipient.  

- What I like about it is that it is one-in-a-kind, it allows people to build new friendships and bond old ones - through short snaps of photos. It also has multiple features like stickers, drawing , location pins, and filters, which opens up alot of creative opportunities and a chance to express them visually. 

It also helps retain memories - the function of saving 'snaps' into 'memories' enables us to keep the pictures in a storage and view them back at any time. ]]> 2017-10-26 07:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hwangjiah/1612905/wish/200701161 Tutorial 5: Activity 1 hwangjiah https://padlet.com/hwangjiah/1612905/wish/209591812
