Prototype sketch and testing

Prototypes

Testing

I tested these prototypes out on my family to see what they thought. 

For the fist one they said.

• They liked how it was laid out and how they could immediately see what the pressing issues were. 
• They liked the fact that each topic had a rating on how serious each topic was but the colour system didn't work for them because it was too similar to the weather warning system.
• My mother suggested a numbering system. 
• I think a system related to volume would work well and go with the theme of Siren. 

For the second one they said

• It didn't work because they couldn't immediately see what was a pressing issue and only the amount of issues in each category
•  My sister preferred the cleanliness of this one. 

For the last one

• They liked the idea of how far away they could choose they area of effect to be.
• They liked the overall design of it. 

Questions they had

• They were wondering how much information would be gathered from local sources like community watch centres, the local guards and user submitted information. 
• My sister thought it would be a good idea to have a forum.
