Paper plane user testing 2

Here's a summarization of the critique:
1. Improve on the communication model, specifically developing my personal theme of Source, Objectives and Result
2. The ability to photocopy the message will add to the stability of it going out versus someone copying the plane design down for themselves
3. The instructions can be included on the plane if they fit with the way the plane folds - nice!
4. This week I will be user testing to ascertain feedback and ways to improve the model so make a first draft of the plane and test it out, even if it is done in pencil
5. Two ways to do the video - documentation of the plane being made and it being used versus documentation of the communication process using the plane

The paper plane prototype




Here are some things I learnt from the three user testings:
1. The instructions need to be more clear - step 1, step 2 etc, some people got lost
2. Additional fold lines needed on other sides of folds
3. The message writing should either be the last step or the first step
4. Hierarchy - instructions as to what they are making should be clear
5. Step 9 is not clear enough - two people got confused here
6. Move step 10 in a little
7. Maybe put the Message portion underneath the wings and the feedback on the top of the wings
8. Add instructions to leave feedback

  1. Thank you very much.

    I'm super excited about your plane. It's fun/engaging and entertaining all at once.
