The proposals we made for this competition included product titles, abstracts, background problems, objectives and results to be achieved, methods of achieving goals, analysis of work designs (target users, product boundaries, platforms used, product design use scenarios, navigation, architecture information, wireframe), methods and results of user testing, conclusions, bibliography and supporting attachments in the form of poster designs from Qoda, “said Rita.
“For the competition, we made a prototype that was presented in the form of a high-fidelity product prototype using a tool called” Figma.” We also prepare video clips of 2 (two) minutes for the final and 4 (four) minutes to upload on YouTube containing the issues raised, data and introduction to the “Qoda” application. In the final, we made a presentation and demonstrated the prototype of the “Qoda application,” closed Asni.
