Week 1

This week, our batch gathered in the lecture theatre for the major project 1 briefing. Our lecturer, Mr. Kamal explained the project and told us that we needed to work with a team of 4. I decided to group up with Michael, Nathan, and Ian. Also, our group got Mr. Shamsul as our supervisor and we use Figma Jam for brainstorming platform. I was picked as the group leader by Mr. Shamsul.

After the briefing, we brainstormed on what are we going to do. Each of us give 1 idea to propose, I put on an app that can connect gamers with the same personality to play together or in short tinder for gamers. 

Week 2

We went to consult with Mr. Shamsul and he went through all our ideas. Michael got Health sync which is a health app for people to stay healthy, I got the tinder for gamers app, Ian got screen time detox app, and Nathan with first aid guide app. We decided to do my idea the tinder for gamers app or Beacon. Mr. Shamsul is also interested in Ian's idea but he suggest to do Beacon because as it is more eye catching. 


4 ideas proposal

We continued on going deeper on the Beacon app for its features, prepare interview questions, and finishing task 1. After we finished the interview questions and consult with Mr. Shamsul We moved on to interview the gamers. Each of us interviewed 3 participants and compile the results and put inside the FigJam.

Compiled


Week 3 & 4

We continued on the user insight and the slides. Week 4 onwards we conducted the consultation online. Our group decided to meet face to face to discuss. 

In week 4, we research on the potential competitors for Beacon and create the user persona. Each of us do 1 each for both. I found Lita app which is like Beacon but with a few different stuff. 

Lita App
In Lita you have to pay to play together or to carry. It's more like finding a carrier more than a friend to play with to make friends. Also, They have sleep call feature and chit-chat feature and it's all paid feature. 
Lita App example

After the research I continued on the user persona and I made Alec which is a 24 year old college student and part time streamer in LA, USA. 


In week 5 and after the consultation we revised the user persona and continued to make the user journey map. 


We started working on the card sorting on week 6 and after that we made the user flow for the Beacon app so we can make the low fidelity prototype for Beacon. While Michael work on the Card sorting results and compile it, Me and Ian worked on the Beacon logo. I did 5 different sketches on procreate.


Logo Sketches
After showing to Mr. Shamsul for feedback he prefers the 3rd one of my sketches. Right after that I trace it to Adobe Illustrator to make it into a vector.

We also compiled all main information that we want to present on the final presentation. We also divided for the Low fidelity prototype. I did Main page, Chat, and Community, Michael did profile, login and quiz, Ian did the shop page, and Nathan did the events page. I combined all wireframe and make a functioning prototype.

Reflection

Because it represents the end of my education, the major project has been one of the modules I've been most excited about so far. Given that we had the opportunity to work in groups, my team and I chose to work together, especially because we are friends, which we believed would make our work together easier.
