Beep beep prototypes!

After our class on design thinking we felt inspired! We wanted to work on a prototype to show people how Beep Beep works, but also to show how the app would look like. We contacted a desirgner who in turn made the first Beep Beep prototypes!

First screenshot

The first screenshot is the options page, where you can choose whether to find a spot or post the spot you're currently leaving.

Second screen shot

Let's say you're looking for a parking spot. The second screen shot shows the moment when the map knows your position, so you can ask the app to search for parking spots.

Third screen shot

To start the search, you will have to use one of your Beep Beep letters. Each letter accounts for one search. You get letters back everytime you share a parking spot. Each share accounts for a "Beep",

Fourth screen shot

The fourth screenshot shows a parking spot nearby. You can see that because you did a search the last "p"is now used.

With these images on our phones we talked to our friends and classmates and showed them how it would be like to use Beep Beep. We got inmediate feedback about colours, layouts, fonts, usage, etc.
For the most comments, they were positive and supporting: the idea is good and helpful, the app looks clean, simple to use and easy to navigate. We also got some ideas for improvement, like a change in fonts and logo to be coherent with the simple layout, and a improvement on the map to make it look more professional.
All of this was great, simple and fast feedback that we used to improve the screenshots. The updated versions can be seen below. We plan to use these on a second field trip, were we will aproach people not only with our ideas but also with our prototypes! Wish us luck!
