User Interface Changes
Web Application
Login
We started out with the first version, with a maroon ribbon banner that is slightly off the top. The logo is then placed at the top. After several discussion, we felt that we could move the ribbon banner up to the top so that there could be more space for content below.
In our current version, we have placed a blurpie with moveable eyes, that will track the mouse cursor movement, just to add in the "fun" factor. On top of that, we added descriptions about what our application can do. We have also added a link to App Store, where users can navigate to the download page of itunes.
Create New Event
We started out in the first version, a "Create New Event" form with hints at the right side of the fields to guide users through this event creation process. In the second change, we have edited the hints such that it is more user-friendly. On our current version, we have included a step-by-step indication bubble on top (Step 1 - Step 3) so that users will be able to see which step they are at now while creating a new event. We have also added the upload image and preview feature.
Mobile Application
Search Events
Our first version for Search event was a list and has not much event details in it. On our second version, we created the tab view, for Search and Favourites event. We also have a event image thumbnail displayed. we implemented the Join and "Star" (Favourites) feature. In our current version, we have added a nice border for the event thumbnail, and we have changed the alignment of the event details. The colour of the buttons are also changed to match the overall theme.
Post A Blurp!
Our first version for Post A Blurp is really simple, but the button was hidden under the keyboard. Hence, we have decided to revamp the UI so that it is more user-friendly and sleeker. In the second version, we have added the extra navigation bar for mood meter selection, the 140 character counter and Facebook Share button. In our current version, Facebook share compartment is done, and upon selecting anywhere outside the Facebook Share black area will bring up the keyboard. The Action bar also tells the user which event he is currently in.
