Hello,
Please answer the following report as per mentioned instructions and Brieft instructions given in attached PDF
Topic: Construct a Design Portfolio on a system of your choice that enhances User Interaction and User Experience (UX)
Note: the system you have to design can be either a mobile application or a web-based system or a Virtual Reality environment or an Augmented Reality application or else)

What needs to demonstrate a good Design Portfolio?
Your design portfolio needs to demonstrate:
1. High quality prototype screens that follow ID&UX design principles
2. Logical transition in the development of your prototypes i.e. have a clear logical information and concept architecture that shows to the reader how your low-fidelity prototype has transitioned to medium or high-fidelity prototype
3. Clear text walkthrough that accompanies all prototype screens, explaining the structure, narrative and logic of your designed system
4. Support for your design decisions (taken from the published literature) and ideas (that can be of your own, supported by published literature)
5. Thorough design of prototypes that follow the topic and support both basic features and more advanced features for your system. Basic features include e.g. registration and authorisation screens, while more advanced features can include ‘smart’ features, enhanced visualisations, and automations
What structure and content does your design portfolio need to have?
For CW2 you are expected to create a design portfolio for an application/technology of your choice.
Your design portfolio must include the following and must focus on designing for enhancing ID & UX:
Clear, well-structured and presented Introductory paragraph (1 paragraph) where you explain the topic of application/technology that you chose for your CW2 Design Portfolio – you can use existing literature that you cite in text to support your introduction and motivation for choosing the particular application/technology
Clear, well-structured and well-presented appropriate personas and scenarios as part of
‘preparing the ground’ – you need to:
o Generate and present a set of a minimum of 3 different personas and minimum of 2 different scenarios where your presented personas take part,
o identify your users, their goals, pain-points and needs
o set the theme for the design prototypes you produce and present in CW2,
o provide a clear and explicit rationale for the choices you make regarding your personas and scenarios (you can use existing literature to provide such support)
A 2-tier design prototype development. This means that you must choose to present in your
CW2 design portfolio, two types of prototypes from the below three types:
o Low-fidelity prototyping (this can be paper-based such as sketches)
o Medium-fidelity prototyping (this can be digital-based and can include e.g.
wireframes)
o High-fidelity prototyping (this can be code-based and can include screens from e.g.
a developed mobile application or a website)
So, you can produce either:
1. a set of screens/images that are low-fi prototypes AND a set of screens/images that are medium-fi prototypes OR
2. a set of screens/images that are medium-fi prototypes AND a set of screens/images that are high-fi prototypes OR
3. a set of screens/images that are low-fi prototypes AND a set of screens/images that are high-fi prototypes
All your prototype designs (e.g. screens of what you have designed) need to be accompanied by text walkthrough briefly describing what they are about and what interactions they accommodate. You are strongly advised to discuss in your text walkthrough all the rationale behind your design decisions supported by citing relevant literature.
You are required to include in your prototype design both basic and advanced features. Your prototypes need to clearly show how the interactions and UX of its users get enhanced. Furthermore, you are required to produce at least 5 screens for each type of the prototypes you design.
For example, if you choose to produce low-fi prototypes (such as sketches) and medium-fi prototypes (e.g. wireframes) for your system then your design portfolio should include -at least- 5 screens for your low-fi prototype and –at least- 5 screens for your medium-fi prototype that both include basic and advanced features.
Clear, well-structured and presented Conclusion paragraph (1 paragraph) where you summarise what you produced in your design portfolio and the rationale behind it.
