"Requesting Advice" Task:
- Don't want closet or wardrobe, eliminated options from top to deduce that "Ask for Advice" section was the objective
- Needed to think of good, concise phrasing to fit in the text field
- Asked question "What to wear on a business trip." (as statement, not question)
- On Asking page:
  - Added task-specific details (what events were planned)
  - Added personal details (Female, time, location)
  - Other actions not clear; had to look to find "Ask" button
  - Ignored tagging and image options
- On request page:
  - Tried to use up/down vote arrows to scroll
  - Better affordances here, i.e. +/- signs or thumbs up / thumbs down
- Notes:
  - Why wardrobe & tags region shown?
  - Wardrobe on Question page helped to confirm that it was owned by the user
  - Default question types in drop-down for common events / questions to speed up the Asking process?

Client 2:

"Add to Wardrobe" Task:
- Tried "Sign-in" first; didn't work (not registered)
- "Register" used instead
- Not sure what to do
  - Add dialog for "Register" / new user path on the phone (and omit for experienced users)
- Take picture, "Add to Wardrobe"
- Asked "are there enough categories for all my things? is this extensive enough?"
- Didn't add tags; "Add to Wardrobe"
- Notes:
  - Bring more functionality to the phone - is more convenient to use
- Hallow
- Hollow

"Requesting Advice" Task:
- Explored interface
- Clicked on "Me" section of the requests pane; brings up blank slate (user has no request history)
- Asked question ""What to wear for Graduation?" (user created new question)
  - Writing longer question doesn't fit / feel good
- On Asking page:
  - Lots of options appear on page
  - Wrote types of clothes desired into text window
  - When considering suggesting items, wanted 2D arrangement option
- On Request page: same observations as Client 1
- Notes:
  - Ability to change home page to "my wardrobe" rather than active requests?
  - A new potential user type: rather than the social ask/answer, someone looking to inventory a large wardrobe - a more technical user
- Hello
- Hillo

"Designing Outfit" Task:
- Scrolled through "Everyone" section, brought up Felicity's question
- On Question Details page:
  - Move the "Answer" button to more visible location
- On Canvas page:
  - Multiple ways to answer question:
    - Dress up user directly
    - Indirect, guiding question dialog
  - Curious about privacy tags on wardrobe:
- Hullo
- - "can I mark certain pieces of clothing private?"
  - User not comfortable answering question - not sure where to start
  - Wanted more dialog with requester - more detail to go on
  - Mannequin to place clothes on?
    - How to handle layering?
  - Wanted to see more of wardrobe at a time - resize canvas & wardrobe real estate?
- Notes:
  - Enable asynchronous dialog with requesters - pseudo text messaging
  Hallo

  - How to enter tags? Use + symbol or "enter" key on the phone's keypad, instead of "search" icon
  Hollow

"Requesting Advice" Task:
- Existing questions used as examples; ignored answering them while exploring

  - Where to add a deadline for responses?
- On Requests page:
  - Fix icons for up/down voting (again)

- Hello
- Hillo

"Designing Outfit" Task: :
- Swapped to "Friends" tab
- Liked clicking on question in general, given that there was some on-hover response
- On Canvas page:
  - Moved things in and out of canvas
  - Found region easy to navigate
  - Looking for the details from user was not clear
    - Improve drop-down menu visibility
  - When unable to find missing parts, used comments to provide suggestions
  - For friends, also comment in friendly advice ("You should wear your hair like this...")
  - "Publish" button used to complete
- Notes:
  - How do I know what tags to search by?
  - Can I know what tags that user has in their wardrobe?
  - Selective auto-complete (a la "find") with the tags as the search space?
- Hullo
- Hallo
