[RE] - Feedback
This week I attended a studio feedback session with my tutors and thought it best to record and reflect on the comments to help me develop this application in the right direction.
I felt there were three main areas to focus on:
1. How the individual nodes are represented and how they visually reflect the data.
This comment encompasses my current use of circles to denote individual nodes and I was encouraged to develop this aspect more uniquely. I could perhaps think about a wider range of colours, and also how the open rate could be used to show how successful the subject lines are more graphically, e.g. deterioration of the nodes the less successful they are.
2. Developing the application to better reflect the name of ‘RE:SCOOP’
I came up with the name ‘RE:SCOOP’ to echo how this data was initially collected and gathered, but if I could also provide the user with their own method of gathering and collection, this would allow me to develop the application to another depth (as discussed further below).
3. Adding another level to the application
Even though this application is currently in its initial stages of development, it still only allows the user to interact with the data on a 2D plane. I.e. the user cannot interact with this data any further other than simply hovering and filtering the nodes. Instantly however I could think about what happens if the nodes are clicked…if there was some way to focus an individual node and bring that into prime view, which would enable more information to be shown. E.g. the companies comment on each node.
Here is a rough sketch of how this could work:
To the left are my initial notes after considering how I could convey the name ‘RE:SCOOP’ to the above concept.
I could actually provide a way for the user to collect up all the data that is relevant to them and then at any point in time review these side by side - complete with all data.
I would now like to test this theory out to see if it is a feasible route forward.
