Description:
“Parkit” (an iPhone parking application) is my MFA thesis project. The concept of “Parkit” is to create a real-time parking pilot which helps users to find an open space near destination. The goal is to bring user an efficient parking experience, and to help user not only find a real-time availability of parking spots in San francisco, but also provides user a way to make parking payment and helps user to find the parked car.
There are many parking apps trying to solve parking problems in the city of San Francisco, some are not user friendly while some not visually pleasing. “Parkit” tries to find a solution to both simplify user experience and visual appeal user. Since different people approach a parking app in different ways, “Parkit” focuses on its primary target audience – people who need a one to two hours street parking space; people who need garage parking and disabled parking are secondary and tertiary users.
The whole “Parkit” concept and prototype includes: (all is done by myself)
(1) JQuery Mobile prototype
(2) InVision click through prototype
(3) 2 introduction videos and 2 user scenario videos
(4) 2 documentation books ( one is proposal - around 80 pages ; one final - around 100 pages)
Skills:
