Desktop address book
Residential purpose
The objective of my project was to make a more usable, contact manageable address book, in the domain of information technology. I had to make a credible, well-defined desktop address book for generic residential purpose.
Communication is not only important, but essential for human life, for without it, the latter would be non-existent. Good communication is the key to good relationships. For everlasting communication, people need contacts and contacts must be maintained forever.
Keeping in mind the primary use of an address book, which is to store and retrieve contact data, I was assigned to make the contact data into a better manageable product, to cut down the complexities which are there in the existing market address books, which are more technological based and not so user friendly, thus enabling the user to interact easily. Study has been done on the paradigms and trends of various address books which are currently available in the market. Market research, and contextual study were done, and personal interviews conducted to understand the users’ concept and opinion of technology. Insights from these techniques proved to be indispensable later on. My research aided in studying current trends and its implications.
Data analysis, evaluation, deriving requirements, finding solutions, and exploration were done for the next process. Formulating the details which are necessary for the wire frames with iterations which resolve the interaction flow were carried out. Paper prototypes, and the explicit feedback from some users were incorporated in the final design.
It was really a good learning experience to work in the environment of MangoSpring technologies. The design process which I have followed in this project helped me to understand the depth of the project which made me optimistic enough to raise the quality of the final output.
