Douban Alpha Town (Individual work)
interaction design
豆瓣阿尔法城交互设计草图（个人作品）
As a heavy user of Douban (www.douban.com), I'm very desire to change the interaction design in one of its novel product, Alpha town. Alpha town is a different platform compared to conventional virtual community or SNS: it is neither a game like SIM city or purely a social platform for information exchange. It's designed to be a 'discovery' tour for those have similar hobbies and interests in books, music, films or whatever. Users are able to enjoy their virtual journal by 'exploring' different 'shops', 'activities' or even other 'visitors' in this platform.
In order to improve the user experience in this interaction design, I redesigned the structure of the town, including the different levels of elements in it, the presentation of each element, and their relationships.
