These were discussed in weekly storytime meetings to ensure we had a common understanding of the requirements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525066481896-10AWNOPBG10YSSKJXFTK/Screenshot+2017-03-19+17.42.18.png Dolby DP590 - Asset production I used Zeplin to communicate design elements with the engineering team.

This is Fred, an “A1” audio producer responsible for everything a TV viewer hears in a broadcast. It’s a difficult and all-absorbing job. The A1 would be the primary user for our product. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525064881094-WNBHONEZEWHB3K3BS55H/PoC+UT+with+Foz.JPG Dolby DP590 - Usability testing with PoC To fully understand the problems with the proof-of-concept, I ran usability tests with real users on the existing UI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1524879308481-U8RDNJJ9Q8JZBWSNW4OH/Flow+of+Joe+1.jpg Dolby DP590 - Usage scenario As an exercise in understanding the workflow, I created a usage scenario that described how a target persona might think about creating a new audio production. It also shows what the user is thinking and feeling at key moments and highlights areas of concern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1516392647258-8N187M2FK2X47WWYJ0YT/lawo_side.jpg Dolby DP590 https://www.murrie.org/ac-4-atsc daily 0.75 2021-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525074164276-HNPXCVY77NSZG6R90FZ4/tv%2Bremote_web.jpg AC-4 + ATSC - TV visual design The TV on-screen UI was inspired by a typical TV menu system, albeit showing a lot more ‘behind the curtain’ technical info. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525072489153-U5OY85LWVMERAE554LDN/Pepsi+OSD+Remote+Mapping.png AC-4 + ATSC - Remote mapping One of the requirements was that the demo could be driven by a presenter with a standard TV remote. After several rounds of testing this was agreed to be the best layout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525071774935-BY1ZENUWKHDJ6DI7ELKR/Scenario+screenshot+2.png AC-4 + ATSC - Demo storyboard I created storyboards to describe the flow of the demo using (in this case) the tablet UI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525071877928-224BX7JQY3Y8WWUM9MIP/Couch+UI+Mockup+%28tech+panel%29.png AC-4 + ATSC - Tablet mockup I used Balsamiq to build lo-fi interactive mockups. This helped quickly validate early interaction ideas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1617053263053-1F8IRM7O04U8OZZG7XDA/tv%2Bremote_web.jpg AC-4 + ATSC The TV UI we designed. Executives could run the whole demo with a TV and remote control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a9ccfe3e00be4c79aad9bd/1525072809553-89FB9SIOF41D5ZJ09ICP/IMG_3747.JPG AC-4 + ATSC - Demo room with TV UI in background One of the rooms used for the demo.
