Open Hallway

We started turning our thoughts into design entities at prototype stage. The lo-fi prototype is divided into four parts: a home page and three pathways for three key path scenarios (adding new posts, writing journals as emotion reflection, and connecting with online classmates). Without the consideration of styles or appearances of the product, we focused more on functionality during establishing the prototype. The lo-fi prototype gives us a figurative structure of Open Hallway and provides the opportunity to proceed user testing.

Takeaway:

• Lo-fi prototype helps derive a simplified product with main focus on functionality.

• Lo-fi prototype gives a better entity for user testing.
