...Everyone young person is going to be
inspired to be a maker from now on. Its
like how everyone used to want to become
a musician, actor or athlete but ‘maker’ is
what people are going to want to be.

20. Before we start
Please get into groups of 4.
Our home work tool will be a web
app, this means that it should work
on a PC and mobile phone.
Friday, 12 July 13

21. Personas
A persona is a typical
‘person’ that uses a
website or app.
Please create one
persona each. It can be
you, a friend or sibling.
Friday, 12 July 13

22. What’s out there?
Research allows you to
see what else is out there
and learn their strengths
and weaknesses.
Choose two or three
other methods of
how you deal with
homework.
Friday, 12 July 13

23. Site / app map
Think about the screens
you will need on your
web app and write any
‘functional’ notes on
them.
Normally there are a
maximum of 7 key
screens and lots of ‘sub’
screens.
Friday, 12 July 13

24. Prototyping
The best way to start a
design is pen and paper!
Try and design one of
the important screens
for the web app.
