The purpose of this project was to develop

an interactive tool that would help people

achieve some end result. We had to develop

our idea as precisely as possible to target

different personas that we created.

In addition, the tool had to be user friendly

and well designed. Our professor assigned

us a subject in which we had to conduct

research and better a process. The subject

“travel” was assigned to me.

Assignment

After brainstorming and doing further research, I decided to do a

diagram of most of the forms of transportations available for travel.

Since I experience anxiety when I travel and I have travel to many cities

within the pass ten years, I decided to come up with a gadget or tool

that people could use to relax while travelling. After further research and

brainstorming the idea of a tablet came to mind. Since we are already so

overwhelmed with gadgets, I decided to create an application that

people could download on their Ipad or Iphone. This application will have

different resourcers available for people with anxiety to relax when

travelling by using any mode of transportation.

audience and customer.

Reason to use the product: She travels various times a week to advertise her collections even though she dislikes being on a plane. She experiences anxiety and head aches.

UNWINDAfter sketching and brainstorming ideas, names like

Sail Away and UNWIND came to mind . I selected

UNWIND and a delicate paper plane to represent this

application. I felt that the paper plane described best

the notion of freedom and relaxing. I felt that if I

related the application with an existing traveling object

this might cause clients further anxiety issues.
