ASS. 2 | STILL SOME DIFFICULTIES...

After already quite a long process of improving and improving and improving, we still had some difficulties in finding and designing good maps. Meaning, maps that differ in a very subtle way, but make you without a doubt walk in two different directions. Related to this we still were not really sure whether some manipulations were allowed or not. This together with the fact that the test did not work out that well (not many respondents would walk in the way we wanted them to do) made that we wanted to make use of the VCD-counseling meetings that are offered this week. This was very useful and has put us on the right track again. The remarks we got, may be of use for you as well, so here they are:

• we should not fiddle with the circle too much
• we should influence the user with only the theory of the book of Colin Ware
• keep it simple
• if the different drawings of the buildings distract too much, make them more alike
• give buildings sort of the same spacing
• the train station cannot semi overlap the circle, this would be too obvious
• in the future let girls interview, they are more likely to be helped
• be as creative as possible!
