For this assignment, we had to take the information that we had gathered as part of Design Assignment 1.1 and iterate, brainstorm, and improve on it to create a low-fidelity prototype of a technology solution on pen and paper. I started with the initial submission from Design Assignment 1.1, and iterated from there.
I had previously talked with Bob, a music professor at Berkeley, about his need to take the approval process for funding request forms in his office (the office of Student Musical Activities) online to make it more efficient. In this assignment, I ended up iterating and creating a mockup for an app that would address this need. I decided to go with the idea of Bob’s online approval process just because it was the only one I hadn’t taken part in having the initial, seed idea for: this would be an app that Bob really needed and one that would improve his workflow, and I figured that thinking a lot about this problem and how to solve it from a design perspective would broaden my views on problems that can be solved with technology.
