TASK 4: HIGH FIDELITY APP DESIGN PROTOTYPE

In this final task we are to use all the knowledge we've learned throughout the semester for this application in task 4. We are tasked to create our own assets and further improve and refine the lo-fi prototype into a complete visual redesigned app. 

So I started with the onboarding page as Mr. Zeon gave me suggestions on having one to introduce steam to the users. So I took a picture of my steam library and edit the colors a little bit and inserted it into the loading page at first then into the welcoming onboarding page. The reason I kept the onboarding page simple is that its easier for users to read the words and know what are the main core functions of the app and what they can be using them for. I've also asked user 2 and 3 who tested out the Lo-fi prototype like whether they'd like to have an image background onboarding or a simple one as shown in fig 1.0 and both of them said to have the simple one so it's easier to read the words.

After the onboarding page I started to work on the home page. Since I'll be using the scrolling method to show what content I have in my home page, so I went to google the games that came to my mind and inserted them into the frame.

I actually played around with the layout for a few times while trying out different compositions and noticed that only this one feels the best and most comfortable. It's not complicated and consist of all the important elements that a home page should have.

After that I did the search page, search result and game description page I'm not really sure what to call this page so I named it Game des but it's actually the page where you get to after you pressed into one of the game in the search result.

After inserting the images I noticed that I had a lot of fun doing this page, it felt exciting and fun making this page not sure why but I enjoyed it a lot. I was thinking really hard at the start of the designing phase as there's a lot of content to put in so it was pretty difficult at first but due to the scrolling element I need to put almost everything in the same frame. After successfully doing the page I felt happy even though it was hard at first but its fun.

I've also added in the payment failure as mentioned in user 1 feedback in the Lo-fi prototype and also the bucket function as shown in Fig 1.5 below the one on the most left.

When I'm done with the payments and stuff I started with the additional, profiles, library, market, etc. The hi fi of these pages are as shown below.

So when I'm dealing with these pages it's actually not that hard and complicated as I've already got the solutions on how to make the scrollable page when I'm doing the Game des page, so it does take a while to finish these but no big problems are faces during the process. 

Lastly its the biometric function, code sign in and sign in failure shown below

REFLECTION
I can’t even describe the relief I felt when I finally finished this assignment. It’s been such a long process, but honestly, the timeframe was so short with all the modules I'm having this semester that it felt like a mad rush. Just like with the last project, I realized that watching YouTube tutorials really helped me get things done while learning a lot along the way. I also improved my prototype by listening to feedback and making changes, though for this project, it was just small tweaks here and there. I’m just so glad I can finally submit it. This semester has been super exhausting, but I’m still really proud of what I managed to achieve.
