The three mockups were all designed to see how users would interact with the different features on our editor, with slight twists to see different tasks. We decided to keep the tasks more open ended so that we could see the order in which people did things.
The first one emphasized uploading and adding multiple pictures side-by-side, and separately how users would react if they didn’t want the default sections (having no main title and having pictures first before text). The second one emphasized reshaping text boxes around pictures (or putting a picture in, causing the text box to reshape itself). The third one emphasized putting in videos.
