We tested our revised design to 8 participants. In 25th of March and 27 th of March.
- age/gender
: one female 21 years old, three female 26 years old, one female 29years old,
one male 26 years old, one male 30 years old, one male 31 years old, one male 37 years old
Research Questions:
*Do the participants could recognize the differences between the two maps?
(If so,what kinds of the differences ?)
*Do the participants could understand the direction of the map?
(If so, what kinds of the aspects make them to think that?)
*What kinds of icon is the most clear and recognizable for the participants?
Result:
* Six out of eight people thought there were same.
- they mentioned they firstly focused on the picture that is familiar with them, so they could not realize there was a difference between them.
* Two out of eight people thought there was " difference" between K route and P route.
- they recognized that the picture's location in the circle wa
s difference.
*Seven people thought that the right direction to follow from the route was starting from the biggest picture icon.
- they mentioned that the station sign could be used as a cue to realize it and the gap between the last picture and the station icon made them to think th
at was end point.
* Only one person thought that she had to follow from the smallest icon, she thought the biggest icon ( the station/museum ) seemed like the destination.
* About the icon of the shopping spot they preferred second one( 5 people choose ). They thought the icon itself should be clear and simple. The other three liked shopping bag with blue color. They thought they can feel delft blue from those. Our previous icon was failed to attract people's attention.
* One of them recommend us to change one icon, the two kinds of church were same which are new church. Thus, we should change this.
