My Development (part 3)

After testing by representatives of the user group I am aimed at I applied some more modifications to my interface.

First of all I made the whole interface more cartoon like.The reason for that is that when I asked my users if they like watching cartoons, all of them answered "YES", which proves my theory that young people in their early 20th still like dealing with nice and friendly cartoon characters. Another important change was made because of some complaints about the buttons. Most of the users could not easily find out wich objects are actually buttons. So I highlighted my buttons with light yellow color, trying to keep the same style for all of them. I also made my man wave on the first page greeting new users and gave him a bright yellow bulb-heart. I also added some text around the button which leads to the room indicator page (from energy consumption page) in case user will need some more clue what the button is for. Furthermore I added "BACK" buttons for more convenience.

 

 

 

I also decided to try the method offered by Angela on the lecture - turning the whole thing into black and white, so I could see if color blinded people would be able to use the interface. And I was quite succesfull. Everything could still be seen clearly.
