Firstly we limited our research on persons who had something do with CC. But there were not to many and so, after some time we recongnized that the persons we want to interview didn't directly had to do something with CC. It was also good to question these who do not know to much about CC and licenses. | |||

For the Ideas we took the data from our research and we wanted to remove the problems, which we found. For this each of us generated for himself ideas and than we took them together in a mindmap. | |||

The paper-mock-up of the external program is generated with the prototyping-tool Evolus Pencil Project. In this case we had some problems with printing, because the proportions wasn't correct and sometimes the program deleted some fields. All in all it was easier to generate the prototype with a prototyping tool than to draw all things. | The paper-mock-up of the external program is generated with the prototyping-tool Evolus Pencil Project.

This is a revision of the first prototype and this are the new functions: | |||
* we added a new function to the search filter that people who don't know the CC-licenses can say for what they need the pictures; they search and the filter choose the licenses which are good for this. | |||
* the user can see the workspace and the search at the same time | |||
* a new function to see the data of the choosen pictures | |||
* a help function for the different licenses | |||
* better function to switch between workspaces | |||

In the end we can say, that it wasn't very difficult to generate and design the prototypes, but some prototyping-tools are better than others. In our case we had some problems with the program Pencil. With the program Balsamiq we haven't got some problems. | |||
Sometimes it was difficult to think at typical buttons, e.g. back-button, forward-button oder cancel-button. Also it wasn't easy to think like a user, who has other knowledge and experience than ourself. <br/> | |||
If we want to develop our browser-add-on idea more, we must make more tests, whether users like to use an add-on or not. Three tests aren't enough for a good research solution, but the time was limited. All in all the idea is great for an artist, because it make the daily work easier and he/she deals more with image-licenses. The next step would be a mid-fidelity-prototype, because users can interact better with them, especially the right-click-problem would be improved, because the users can try more with the program. | |||

In general it wasn't a big problem to give a lecture on this theme. Although one somehow confusing and discouraging aspect was the structure of text. The author repeated himself a lot in his essay. He summed up some aspects more than one time. In my presentation I was willing not to imitate the structure style of the author but in some points I had to repeat myself as well. | |||

It was not a big problem to make a presentation on this theme. The sources were very good and easy to understand although the topic was not new for me because I had it before in an other course. I only had problems with the decision which example of Intuitive I present but than I took them from the sources. I think that now eveyone who saw the presentation know what Intuitive and the Intuition Gap is. | |||

It was hard for me to decide, which prototype-tools I want to present and which one not. A reason for this is, that everyone must decide self which program is good for his/her project. Pencil and jQuery are only two from a lot of tools. So I decided to name a lot of tools and present only 2-3 more in detail. I tested a lot of programs on his advantages and disadvantages, because I wanted to see the limits of every tool. My own goal was, that the others have a little overview of the existing prototyping-tools and maybe also that they can decide which one is good for their own idea. |
