Artefact 1 Evaluation


Artefact 1;
On reflection, this was the most important Artefact I have done so far. Although I had to make some reasonable assumptions such as the decision between responsive web design and native apps were on the same level as I was talking in the context of an information only site and not e-commerce. This was to narrow down the broadness of my research question. I received some really useful information on topics such as the fold, image use on mobile devices and opinions on the use of Fitts law in mobile design. The Artefact was used to get a base to test on, to find out the most important elements of mobile web design and find out how these elements have changed the way we have gone from traditional desktop design to designing and developing solutions for mobile devices. The results from the Artefact have given me the grounding to continue onto my second Artefact  where I will produce a form of paper prototyping where I will test responsive design with users to find out their perception of placing elements on mobile devices for users. This will give me a good comparison to find out whether I should be concentrating on user or practitioner for the following 3 artefacts I will be testing. By producing an open ended questionnaire for practitioners I allowed the opinions of the designer to come through, and not just let the results reflect on design trends or user requirements.
