concept
An exploration of the user-centered design process
This project is an exercise in
system design, providing a methodological study of a pop culture voting system.
Based on the television show American Idol’s voting system, my team
members and I analyzed the show’s current phone voting system in order to
devise an improvement.

Course of Action:
1) Researching the problem space and context of the existing phone voting system
2) Designing possible solutions
3) Creating a working prototype
4) Evaluating the prototype
result
This interactive television voting system was implemented as a flash prototype
extensively tested by users. Viewers using this system would hypothetically
be able to vote with their remote control. It clearly surpasses the usability
success of the current phone voting system as evidenced by our user studies. This exercise in Human Computer
Interaction proved to be an application with potential for use by popular
media.
