<aside> ➡️ TYPES OF PROTOTYPES TO CONSIDER: paper, look & feel (aesthetic), interaction, experience, generative

REFLECTION:
This process was great for getting my more recently focused ideas down. I feel as though I will still likely be adding onto this and uploading newer versions as I explore more questions and go through more interviews with people, but I feel much better about my overall direction and where my input up to this point has guided me. This will be very helpful in framing my initial prototypes and changing as those results become apparent to me.
REFLECTION:
Back-casting helped me to take a more linear look at what generally needed to happen to get to where I wanted to be for this project. I will definitely be using this for future versions as this develops into my thesis because I found it very helpful in structuring my thoughts into more of a plan after my mind-mapping and some researching. I took a fairly general approach to this and will definitely be breaking it down and reviewing this as I move on to even back-cast some of the individual pieces, like prototyping and user testing.
I created this questionnaire as one to potentially share in class with folks alongside any other prototyped pieces I am able to complete this week. I hope to gather more information about people’s thoughts surrounding difficult medical situations, resource preferences, and mental health practices. Even though it is tangentially related to my project this semester, I think this data will still serve useful as I design my final tool and make decisions on what to include and how to include them.
