Click to view the article.
Summarize the article objectives, stories mentioned and notable comments.
Narrow down to one goal and 3 tasks for the project.
Narrow down to one goal and 3 tasks for the project.
Exploration of different information structures and wireframes including sequential, matrix and hierachical ones.
Final style guide and notable controls that carry through the final output.
Final IA that combines hierachical and sequential structures best tells the story and carries out the tasks based on the article.
Final home page is inspired the galaxy and the hierachy flows from galaxy to solar systems to planets, representing home page to landing pages to detail pages.
Task activities are inspired by Spacepirates who explore, eliminate and exploit different plants in different solar systems.
For this task activity, constructing components of a rocket and launching it is really inspiring, representing that all infomation we have about rockets complets the task.
Force of black hole inspires the different opinons expressed in the article and through the analysis, the article is somewhat biased to supporting SpaceX overall and thus the motion of stars going into the blackhole represents that no matter whether the opinions favor SpaceX, it goes into black hole of overall favor pool.
Next steps include bringing these prototypes to a higher fidelity and incorporating other elements such as sound to create a more immersive experience.
Thank you for experiencing Spacewalker!
