11 week - Scenario 2 Complete, #3 on the way.

So, these are screens from the second scenario of my application, which involves exploring some of the activities sections. Specifically, the user searches the locally based activities, both indoor and outdoor. I had some struggles getting through this scenario, and found myself stuck scooting elements around and around the page. But many of my issues were resolved after talking with classmate Julie. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and ask for help.

This page is an example of a local activity page. The user has a opportunity to read about the event, see which areas of growth are developed through this event, as well as the date, time and location. All of the time and location information can be saved to the iCal and Map applications, respectively. Many parents have busy schedules and it can be easy to overlook/forget events. This app tries to prevent that from happening by tagging events both within it's own calendar (which appears on the front/beginning page) as well as exports it to iCal. Yay for reminders!

The activity information pages also show who else is attending and comments/feedback. These elements of the app promote the community that is created by the parents and their interactions in the app.

Here's the map page from the front screen. Simple bold dots indicate bookmarked events/activities.

This is the activities search page. While in scenario #2 I choose to focus on the local activities feature, I also touch on how the non-time based activity search works.

Note the difference between the top and bottom screens. The user can sort/filter through the search by selecting certain focus-areas. I need to come up for a better term for these categories for the sake of the presentation.
