Week 4 :  SWOT Analysis
For this week, Mr Shamsul told us to do SWOT analysis which is compare and contrast between two apps that is relate with our app. For the SWOT analysis, I chose "First Aid" and "First Aid For all Emergency" and do analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

App 2: First Aid 


App 2: First Aid For all Emergency

The Results of the Survey
Demographic







Information about First Aid App











Week 6 : Flow Chart & User Persona Creation 
For this week, we need to plan and create a process flow chart for our app. For my flow chart, Mr Razif said that my flow chart is okay but need to change some of the features which is not necessary and not clear.

For the user persona creation, Mr Razif told us to make at least three user personas for our project. The user persona not necessary have to be all the main target audience, it also can me secondary target audience or someone that may use the app.





Week 7 : Wireframe Creation & Conduct user testing on prototype (low fidelity prototype to possible end user)
For week 7, we have to create our wire frames of app in Adobe XD.



Week 8 : Refine workflow of the prototype







Week 9 : Create user interface (Design material, all screens)
MyAider High Fidelity Prototype










"My Aider" Logo Design



Colour Scheme



Week 10 : Presentation

For the presentation, Mr Shamsul and Mr Razif gave me some feedback after the presentation. Mr Razif said that my logo is nice and simple. For the wire frames, they said that some of my alignment need to be adjust and my list bar is too big. Mr Shamsul said that the thickness of my icon is not balance and it looks messy. Mr Razif also said that there is not necessary to place a finger on the top of the emergency button, it is enough for just the button there.
