Thesis 2: Module 11

-

 This week I prepared for my upcoming user testing, which includes: updating app, collecting questions, and gathering testers. Since it's a holiday week, I'm having issues gathering testers. I have at least 3 people scheduled. To combat this, I plan to create an online user testing quiz via survey monkey where there will be a link to the app prototype and accompanying questions. Hopefully I'll get more hits this way. 

I also updated the packaging and figured out ways to distinguish each flavor and each type of CBD chocolate available (bars, truffles, hot cocoa). I did this without making the system too colorful and wild. 

For hot cocoa, they will be in packets, contained in a square tin. The truffles will be in a box; which will have lid with a window to peak into the chocolates. The truffles will be full-spectrum CBD, which means it will have a low dose of THC.

Cannabidiol Confections

Cannabidiol (CBD) is made from the non-psychoactive part of cannabis with. People use CBD as an “all-natural” remedy for common ailments such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, inflammation, pain, seizures and more. “Edibles” are the most popular form of consumption taken due to flavor and convenience. However, the CBD market in San Antonio Texas, is largely neglected and afflicted by the lack of access to new products and retail outlets. I plan to use design to create opportunities for new products and increase access to CBD edibles in Texas.

TFIs (New) CBD Services Fact: CBD stores are increasing in San Antonio, TX. Problem: There is an abundance of CBD stores and products to choose from that it gets overwhelming and become less convenient for consumers to shop.  Goal: Through graphic design, I plan to design a way to help shoppers be more educated about the CBD products in their area while also being mindful of their accessibility to them.

Thesis 3: Module 10

-
This week, I worked on a few "house keeping" things from my deliverables. This included transferring the files from my temporary laptop to my computer and organizing the files one what's needed to be mocked up. Upon seeing what was left, I realized that some of the deliverables had the wrong website and so I was going through each deliverables to make sure it's correct. Upon doing that I also found some inconsistent typography. This was like a domino effect of edits I found. I recorded myself speaking about my deliverables in the PDF presentation. This presentation will go after my Thesis video presentation. I'm thinking the structure will go something like:  1) Thesis Video 2) Thesis Presentation (app video demo within it) 3) Question/Anser section I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'm hoping to find out more in the upcoming weeks. Going through my presentation has helped me see what structure to do my presentation and how I need to get used to talking

Thesis 3: Module 8

This past week in module 8, I've been trying to get re-organized in my new set up on a PC laptop while my computer is still in the shop. Some of my files got lost, including process works from Thesis 1. I'm thinking of ways to look for those files or how to fill in the missing pieces in my process book.  Organizing my final presentation PDF, and seeing the mock-ups back to back has helped me visualize my system's components and find ways to present them with more sophistication. For example, the app mock has been something I've been struggling with this semester since most online mock-ups don't fit well with the look of 210 confeccion. So, I think I'm going to create my own mock with the iPhone being an illustrative outline. I think my social media ads are shaping up, I found an ad mock (Ad Parlor) which I've done but the animation wasn't working due to the browser I was using. I'll tinker with it some more this module. I also worked on the rough vid
