Assignment 2

Task 1. Was chosen and submitted last week.

Task 2. To adress the problem with the chosen project, first of all the preparation phase has to looked at.

The main problem of the site is that it requires to many steps to submit an idea. Today it requires seven steps before the idea is submitted into the system. There are also other design matters that are confusing the users and direct their attention elsewhere, instead of the preferred task.

Now after realizing some of the problems, the incubation phase takes place...

Task 3. As a creativity method we used the change old patterns. In this step we concluded that a lot of issues could be resolved with the website when thinking about how we would like the site to behave instead of how it does it now.

Methods for handing in new post with pictures etc provided new patterns. Also, a Wikipedia-esque way of updating and revising old post was a new way of looking at things. Using tried methods in new systems.

Also, localization was something that needed a bit of reflection.

Task 4. Experience from this needs more evaluation.
