Your prototypes are impressive and well executed, and I'd say you're very close to a real breakthrough - although I must confess that the third version doesn't convince me, mostly since the user's attention is required in two locations simultaneously; the URL and the search function. Is there yet a simpler solution that recombines the visual focus in an elegant way? | Your prototypes are impressive and well executed, and I'd say you're very close to a real breakthrough - although I must confess that the third version doesn't convince me, mostly since the user's attention is required in two locations simultaneously; the URL and the search function.

To continue the discussion we started when I visited you in Weimar, the problem you set out to solve is unclear. The description of the problem actually describes the current usage pattern, but doesn't identify the problem. Hence, the ultimate success of your project is unclear as I am still uncertain as to what your goals were - the essence of innovation: solving a problem. | |||
In general, the more time you spend discussing and defining the problem, the easier it is to create a solution and critique it internally within the design team. I just don't feel you spent enough time on this. Instead, I suspect you took the assignment and immediately started sketching stuff. | |||
I do like that you build on existing best-practices. I am unsure (like Jim) as to how your proposed solution will scale (a problem, I might add, that you share with several of the other project groups). | |||
The prototype is indeed impressive. Nicely done. It gives a much clearer picture of what you want to achieve - for me, it seems to help the user recall WHICH site they bookmarked and WHY they did so. And although you didn't state this clearly, it IS a problem and your attempt to solve it is excellent. Well done, gentlemen! |
