In week 8 of the project, I presented my research and progress in class for feedback, using this slide deck to showcase my work so far.
My classmates were given the task to write down their interpretations of the product based on its branding, and I was pleased with their insights. Their feedback aligned well with the project's concept, and it was especially valuable since they represent the target audience.

The critique went fairly well, though some suggestions were made regarding my branding. It was noted that while the design was visually appealing, the connection between the branding and the concept of overcoming procrastination wasn’t immediately clear. I explained the meaning behind the geometric shapes—how they represent the app breaking tasks down into smaller steps—which helped clarify my approach. However, I was a bit disappointed by this feedback, as I really like the branding. While I’m open to making tweaks if it improves the project, I’ll take some time to consider the best approach. Another key piece of feedback was to incorporate users’ needs and pain points into my user personas, which I agree will strengthen my research. Regarding the app’s functionality, it was suggested that I explore integrating it with Blackboard. I found this idea really valuable, as it would allow the app to automatically pull in class schedules and workload based on a student’s ID, reducing setup time. Additionally, I need to further refine how the app breaks tasks down into manageable steps. Overall, the critique was useful in helping me develop my project further, and I’ll be taking these insights into account as I move forward.
