Day 3: Get to work. But have fun! But seriously, get to work: A story about Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

I'm finally getting to write about Wednesday day 3... on Saturday. The last couple days have been long, exhausting and overwhelmingly fulfilling. I will touch on them in my next couple posts. We split day 3 fairly evenly between learning about storyboarding and user flows, and applying these new lessons and others to our projects.

Story Boarding comes natural to me, Generally you are attempting to boil down a process to it's most basic, and communicable points, and visualize them for the benefit of your design process, design team, and possibly stakeholders to help anyone involved understand the process better.

The class first created user flows for the process of making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. While I got the gist of the reasoning and details of user flows, I think I need to continue to refine it and practice it to better understand, and make a more valuable tool in my toolbox.

We then storyboarded the PBJ process, here is my full storyboard. The visualization helps me consider areas of my design that perhaps I haven't considered, putting the idea in a physical space.

Once we had wrapped on the Storyboarding we went to work on our P1 Projects for the rest of the day. Day 3 was probably the first time I really started to feel comfortable with my own design process in regards to UX. I have a fair number of tools that I feel comfortable with, but the challenge is adapting and applying those tools to the UX universe. This is why I am in this program. To adapt and evolve.

Laundry Alert has become Suds. Look, there may not be too much in a title... but it is THE first impression. It makes a difference. And Suds fits the feel I am going for perfectly. I am through 2-2.5 iterations. I am sure Janet was sick of me interjecting, and asking her to review a new sketch or design aspect.

I remember leaving my project Wednesday night, feeling happy with my progress, while at the same time having a sense that Thursday would be a MUCH longer night.
