Week 11
HI. Preparation for the design and prototype review and some final thoughts
This blog will be sharing the preparation did for the design and prototype review and also the thoughts and decisions made after the review
This week, we are also having a short sharing on our design and prototype review with an invited guest. I did some preparation on the presentation to deliver my idea and concept more effectively.
Sharing slides
Video mockup (presented as part of the sharing)
The front part of the sharing, I did some short explanation on the project background and details. The latter part, I did a thorough sharing on the core experience of the microsite and showcase the current stage of prototype to get feedback. I also did a simple video mockup to showcase the interaction and navigation of the main flow.

Summary feedback from guest:-
Art style in the landing page doesn't match well with the 3D style
Try curating the 3D space into something that feels more Malaysian, include more local elements
The information can be display in a different way, currently feels like is taking up too much space of the screen
The information is presented in a slightly more serious tone which is contrasting with the mood and tone of the 3D space
Try including elements that could tie in Airbnb, make Airbnb relevant in the microsite too, integrate them into the experience
My thoughts:-
The art style at the home page was mentioned in the previous blog, I personally find it not blending well with the 3D art style too
I agree with the idea of localizing the 3D space, deliver a more Malaysian vibe
After prototyping the video mockup, I was also having doubts with the information deliverance, unfortunately I didn't have much time to refine, since it's pointed out, I definitely think that I have to do iterations on that part
It makes sense to integrate Airbnb into the experience, right now users will be lead to their external website to get information from them and my microsite are not delivering any information on Airbnb which is quite a waste, I will need to rethink
Further plans:-
It will take some time to have a finalize version of the graphical assets, especially the 3D space that needs more planning and curating. Instead of waiting for a finalize version, I think I will need to start prototyping the technical part first with the drafted 3D space
I will need to quickly refine and iterate my content/info deliverance because this also affects the materials that I have to prepare for the contents
I will try my best to do more experimentations on the art style to be able to make a finalized decision and really work on it
That's all for now, in the next blog, I will be continuing with the progress updates.
