Innovation Incubator: First Blood, Part Deux

The prototype looks pretty good right now.. For anybody who hasn't been linked, you can find stage 1 of the prototype here. The back end is located here.

Here are the comments that have been thrown around so far..

Tina noted:

-need a better font (maybe Helvetica or Arial)
-better design of "Better Letter" header
-coordination/incorporation of color
-text box for writing the letter is too small
-when ready to write message/upload content, it gets the user lost
-possibility of a text editor or way to upload a Word file
-the form layout is inconsistent
-on the View Letters screen: there should be a break after the
introductory paragraph
-validation code is confusing
-static back and forth buttons
-pop-up should be resizable

A few thoughts that I had:

-Use VoxPop instead of Better Letter from now on
-Put "back" button at top of window
-Maybe create a bunch of icons and let them sit near the top
-A small description of VoxPop on the splash screen
-New logos and buttons

Any others? I'm going to get cracking this weekend on redesigning the logo/icons/other buttons. When can we finally get a conference call with the programmers?

Thank you all for a wonderful conference call last night. We made some important decisions:

We agreed to adopt the name VoxPop instead of Better Letter to reflect the various capabilities built into our innovation.

We will have a new logo to reflect that change

Brian and Heather will be our presenters in Toronto.

We will finish working on the presentation scripts and power point this week.

Prof Greg joined the conference call. He will work with his programming team to streamline the prototype.

Thank you again for your participation and for the great ideas. You rock!
