An app design process document outlines the steps taken to design an app called "Sup" that enables nearby friends to spontaneously plan activities. The document summarizes user research activities like interviews and usability testing that were conducted. It also identifies key user interface issues to address like onboarding, home screen design, and receiving invitations. Recommendations are provided to improve various screens to make the app's purpose and functionality clearer to users.
We all want our project to go well. We thus need clearly-defined goals. By structuring our projects around users’ needs we can ensure that the products do their job. We’ll learn to meet users where they are, think through their intuitive experiences, and create products that more effectively meet both stakeholder goals and our end users’ goals. We’ll practice thinking critically through the steps and decisions encountered in interacting with our product.

This is a rapid usability audit we conducted for a client's first stab at a mobile app. We took a hybrid approach, using heuristic evaluations a cognitive walkthrough, with the goal of discovering top usability issues and making recommendations. Nielsen and Molich originally thought of heuristic evaluations as a "discount method" to get quick on user interfaces; we found that that, plus the cognitive process, returned solid knowledge in a short time frame.

Restaurant Finder Android Application project PresentationAbhinav Jain
The Prime objective of “Restaurant Finder Application” is to create a full fledged Android application which could locate a list of restaurants based on the location & type of the cuisine entered by the user. The user not only finds all the restaurant in the city, but also he can make a choice of the best restaurant based on the rating. The user can also map the location of the restaurant on Google Maps rendered to the user on the phone & find the path from his current location or from any other location to the restaurant. The user has the facility to make a call directly to the restaurant and can also obtain the detailed review provided by the others users. They can also send their own review to their friends via E-mail.
Our vision is to create an easy and convenient tool that would help young adults develop long-lasting, meaningful relationships with peace of mind.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
