Interface Sketches
Interface sketches are rough visual designs that show possible layouts and interface ideas for a task. They help explore different ways a user might complete the task and allow the team to compare design choices before deciding on a final interface.
We created one interface sketch for each task:
-
Creates and publishes a post
-
Responds to audience reactions when trust becomes too low
-
Progresses through a run and unlocks a story ending
​
Task 1: Publish A Post
Short description
Sketch for users posting flow, including the main page, choosing a topic, selecting tactic cards, confirming the post, and viewing the result.
This section shows each team member’s individual interface sketches for every task. Each sketch explores possible layouts and interface ideas before the team selects a final design.
Team Member 1: Yanyan Chen
Task 2: Handle audience reactions
Short description
Sketch for how users experience a trust crisis and choose how to respond. The user sees a news alert, opens the reaction screen, reviews comments, chooses a response such as ignore, apologize, or hire people to handle the comments, decides how much to spend if they hire help, then checks the audience reaction and updated metrics.
Task 3: Progress through a run & trigger an ending
Short description
Sketch for the main run interface, major events, and the ending summary screen. The user begins a run, sees a letter saying she is a new influencer, moves through normal posting days by repeating Task 1, watches her metrics change, may trigger Task 2 if a trust crisis happens, and eventually reaches an ending screen after 31 days or when a metric becomes too low.
