March 2 – Interrogating an Interface Example

The one thing I really enjoyed about the example we analyzed was the student’s use of screenshots to show what she was talking about. The app Video Star Verdict is a very visually focused app so simply writing a bunch of text about what is happening within the app would be difficult to follow. By providing many screenshots, she was allowed to keep her content short, concise, and understandable. For example, if she simply told us that some of the icons were super confusing about what their function is, we wouldn’t fully understand what she was talking about. Instead, she included a screenshot and edited it with question marks over the confusing icons so we could actually see what she was talking about.
