Last Iterations!

For this final week before the final presentation, I edited and changed everything that my experts/peers had recommended. I used more SFSU colors and used the gold to accent the application buttons. I had sectioned off the "send" button on the texting portion so that it popped out more.

This week focused mainly on finalizing the design and getting final feedback, as well as getting all the information I gathered into one place.
Additionally, I was working to finalize the booklet and poster. I took some time to go over parts of the new revised booklet with my expert and peers.

About me

Hello all! My name is Dana Salim and I am currently a Visual Communication Major. I am in my senior year and will (hopefully) be graduating in the fall. I also work as an Optical Technician/ Assistant at an optometry office here in SF, while also managing 2 little companies I have. I really enjoy the UI/UX field of design, but I also love 3D printing and prototyping products too. If I'm not at school, work, or doing president stuff for my sorority, I'm usually just drawing, coding apps/websites, taking/developing photos, or out with some friends. I am inspired by my family and friends who continuously believe in me and support the things I do. I am also motivated by the works of some influential people in this world like Michelle Obama and Bill and Melinda Gates. I am inspired by their philanthropic works and their ambition for innovation. I find it amazing that people like them continue to inspire good change in this world.   "If not now, when? If not you, then who?&q

The End

Image
The time has come! This final week I was polishing up my design, booklet, and poster. I had initially prototyped the application, but I revised it to be less flashy like my peers recommended. It was a lot smoother. Below is a video of a prototype of SAFE State These last few days gave me a lot of insight into this project a a whole, and my hope to continue on with it in the future. If the app does not end up getting developed, then hopefully a larger conversation was started because of it. My experts thought it would be a good idea to explore this further, so I am excited to go on and how else I can make this a useful project. Thanks to all who were supportive in my endeavor this semester! (Final Poster Below)

Midterm & Surveys

Image
For this week, I mainly focused on getting my survey checked out and finalized, then distributed. I also was finalizing some work for the midterm, such as getting interviews with my experts, as well as figuring out the design of the project. I sent out the survey to some friends who were Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing, as well as my experts. I also sent it out to a few other peers and had them send it to their family members. Additionally, I conducted more research into the existing products out on the market and did an analysis. I compared it to what I was hoping to do and I found that this application would make it much easier for D/HH people to access 911. As opposed to an average of a 5-7 step process with existing things in the market, the app would only take 4 steps upon reaching emergency service. It would also not require any additional equipment other than a cell phone. I created additional personas to help me with this project further,
