Questionairre Results

By doing the questionairre i discovered that the clients which we are user testing are between the ages of 18 to 32.

They all have the common interest in liking The Simpsons cartoon figures as they are human like and colourful and look "cute" and "funny".

When i asked the clients what there favourite websites were they all said Facebook. The reason for this was because they said they liked to communicate with there friends. From research which i have done i think that for an intellectually disabled person it is easier for them to talk to people virtually then face to face as they get uncomfortable when face to face but over facebook they feel at ease and more confident.

Also part of the questionnaire asked them about the icons which were found in a powerpoint, theses icons are shown above. Before i even showed the icons to the clients i said to Christine that i didnt think the piggy bank icon would be very obvious to our certain clients due to there disability and i felt that we needed to rethink that icon. The feedback which i received from our clients was pretty much the same they didnt quite understand the whole piggy bank icon and they said they would just prefer a building of a bank as it would be more obvious as to what i was. The clients liked the hospital icon but felt that maybe it would look better as a smaller building not a skyscraper as you wouldnt get a skyscraper hospital. When it came to the school icon the clients and Tony felt that this was not accurate as they do not feel like they go to a school but rather a training center or work would be a preferred icon to use so christine will be further developing these icons.

Also the clients made the suggestion to make the icons more 3D like as it would look more sophisticated and modern.

When asked the question what colours would you like to be included in the app the most common answers were pink from girls and blue from the boys from colour research which i have done i think the reason for this is because it makes them feel secure in there gender and also the y said they liked the more pastel like blues and pinks so i think this is because it has a calming effect on the mind.
