Topic 2: Development Update

I have a site in development which works as a submission for a ban fracking petition with a fun twist.

I initially wanted to do a sort of fracking “game” where the player needed to manage a fracking site and have to make certain decisions that were restricted or overrided based on the gas companies profit goals. For example, they would be face with a dilemma like gas leaking into ground water and be given the costs of repairing. If the player declines to repair it and leaves it to a government agency to clean up they get a bonus from their employers. If they go the other route they are told that the company won’t allow them to continue with that route. Ultimately the idea was too complex to be feasible given the project timeline.

For the petition submission, I’m hoping to add additional resources or a menu of sorts where visitors can get more information about the damage fracking causes. I’m not sure that I’ll have time to add it to the site, but it’s a next step in the site development.

I’m also hoping to have 3 total postcards (currently have 1) but I may not have time.

Last, the submission itself doesn’t collect any data. I’m going to keep it that way since this is just a project for this class, but the next steps would be to add a database and utilize an email API (such as sendgrid or similar) to handle the emailing of the postcards.

Design Matrices/Project Prototype

Here’s a link to my prototype for the emoji mixer to create new emojis. It’s using another coding project (referenced in the code) and Google’s Emoji Kitchen. It’s for a sample interaction for the emoji dictionary to create experiences around emojis since I don’t think I’ll be able to get a whole home page up and running.

Also, here are some matrices to map my project:

 

Topic 2 Development (Update)

I shifted the focus of my project to be a one stop shop emoji dictionary that could serve as a place for people to make/share emojis, see existing emojis and their meanings, and join emoji communities or friend groups where they can find like-minded emoji-ers.

Iterations of my project (so far for the landing page of the emoji dictionary):

 

New ideas that came up from user testing/feedback:

-Make an emoji combiner/masher to help people create new emojis and build out the emoji dictionary

-Make a text to emoji or emoji to text converter (kind of like google translate for emojis)
