Reviewing feedback stage:
*Thinks timeline is a slider, would like to drag it to review feedback from different times, then tries to press it
*expects to see only comments pertaining to a specific version being viewed (good, this is the intend behavior)
*Doesn't immediately see who entered a specific comment
*wonders about the difference between annotations (comments localized on the pictures) vs overall comments on the right
*unsure how to filter comments by categories
*tabs are obvious
Host 3:
Setup stage:
*wondered if anything happens when dragging art into dotted square. Clicked upload after dragging art, confused about what the dialog box does, wanted to upload cat's photo again. didn't see anything happen after drag.
*not immediately clear how to get to the next step, but then found customized critique button.
Reviewing feedback stage:
*Hits friends tab first, taps technical comments, then general (never collapses)
*Presses mentor tab, accidentally erases checkbox on Technical.
*Clicks on URL in comment, but no UI for this
*wanted to slide timeline slider *goes back to friends tab, then colleagues. satisfied things it's cool.
Commenter 1:
*Tried to drag the timeline “cursor”, surprised cannot drag, thought timeline would allow you to drag
*Unsure which version they are on - marker highlighting under timeline not clear enough
*Does not understand what the bottom right box is for (this was the box to fill comments not localized on the artwork picture)
*Highlighted Categories on the left are confusing. Expected they would change the image (as a filter?)
*when making a localized comment: would expect to be able to select/change (within the enlarged “bubble”) which “category” it pertains to rather than picking the type on the side bar.
...
*unclear that she can actually choose other categories (besides the one selected by default) on the left hand side. Thought that this comment markup area was for her comment
*confused about function of timeline
*no problem with star rating
*not obvious how to enter localized comments on picture (and this is after she knew that there was such a feature, from seeing the results as an artist reviewer), but then, cursors over to cat's face, able to enter comment.
*satisfies with bottom right comment UI
*POST button: would expets visual confirmation or dialog box for what it does – thought that entering a comment would already post it
...
*Wonders what the “post” button does – thought comments appeared automatically, assumed she is done
*looking searching for who requested feedback* *
*see cursor for comments
*knows to click under timeline
*notices difference between location specific and other comments
*thinks the color green (for “default” category) is “her” color, instead of color of category (in comments)
*wants to edit her comments (both localized on the picture, and the non-localized on the right?) – type but cannot currently.
*Side bar on the left not intuitive - thinks of it as filters for comments of a category
Second Iteration of paper prototype
Host 4:
Setup stage:
*smooth upload (through browsing image files, clicking on an image to select it).
*setting a title: feel there could be a default title (such as the file name)
*not clear what a reviewer group is "I don't know if this means the reviewer can see the groups or i can see the groups". Would rather instead be asked "would do you like your reviewers to be?" *select private: wanted the commenters see comments from within their groups only
Reviewing Feedback stage:
*overall rating very clear
*understand meaning of categories filters on the side
*satisfied to see annotation symbols on picture expand with comments
*satisfied with the exploration of previous versions by clicking
*did not try to explore the groups tabs at the top by herself, unsure what the effect of the tab may be ("would the default be all if there aren't multiple groups? I expected to see friends since this is the only group who I asked for feedback").

"am i supposed to give general feedback?" -- wasn't sure if the feedback category was what she selects or what the artist dictates
does it mean I am supposed to give technical feedback "coincidence that this category one is green?" confusing default selection
if I click hoover a comment is created
don't know why there are 2 ways to annotate: by clicking or annotating. *confused about "double duty": "i don't know why there are two ways by annotatingto annotate, but clicking and by dragging. it makes me feel like there are two tasks i'm supposed to do instead of just one task. I think the click anywhere to annotate thing was more clear than the pin thing". - "are there comments that aren't annotations?"
click anywhere to annotate was clear, more clear than the *comments with the pen and then dragging is less obvious to this user than clicking anywhere on picture to annotate
edit the comments on the right hand side: "which one is edit?" "between the two icons i don't know what's edit and what's something else" -- was confused about the pin icon indicating that the comment was also an annotation. pin for annotation too close to edit they are similar confusing. feels like pin would be less confusing if it wasn't next to the edit button --> it looks like a button rather than just a label
...
- if she wanted to make a high level photo, she would just put it in the overall comments section and not worry about it
- "drag to annotate is kinda vague", i didn't know it meant to drag to a specific location, also have the option only once you've typed something"
Commenter 5:
(same person as Host 5)
I want to say that the grass needs more texture. I click on the grass. a bubble pops up. can I reference a painting. that's technical select radio button (was not clear that she would select the technical on her own non default)
rate the overall quality of the paining.
could I decide who will see my comments? (currently does not support it)
how about option *category input not obvious: upon entering an annotation by clicking, was not clear she should select the category (e.g. "technical") on her own (as opposed to the default)
*wanted to decide who will see her comment but currently this is not supported as the host decided on visibility.
*would like to zoom in (magnifying glass) on a section of the picture to look better (especially if area is cluttered with feedback icons) and add commentscomment, but currently not supported
*would copy paste a comment on the right to hover. could not see the pin. is it confusing that comments /annotation
*confused about the difference between comments on the right and annotations (double display in some cases)
Commenter 6:
hovering ove the emotional annotation. see the comment from Amy
I click on the sun. see the circle dot (what is it?). I see symbols what are these? "great sun maybe a little more..." I select technical
press enter. symbol appear on the sun. comment appears on the right
I *want to be able to hide the icons in the picture, so I can see the picture. only if I mouse over the image they all show up.
*wanted to zoom, can't see the details
*want to zoom.
Who draw this? (need a see the name of my friend the artist )
what is this called ? (title missing)
click on the reminds me of comment from kyle and see the URL link
really like. 4 star rating -> change it to 3 stars
comments on the tail - emotional
changed my mind on previous comment. remove it X on the right
I who drew this piece, as well as what it is called (missing title)
*want to drag the symbols to be draggable to edit the place of the annotation
now general comment on the left .
anything happens when I hover on the right comment. yes it highlights the annotations.
The pin is optional . (safety issue)
*about the pin (comment on the right and then dragging): "would be cool to start without the call out and then arrows to the spot with pin.
comments are color coded.
After you vote maybe see aggregate results
"
*would like to see aggregated results maybe after the star rating
*may want to reply to this a specific comment and annotation. agree/disagree with other people suggestionsnot sure I . on the other hand not sure want to see other people's feedback. discussion is good if a lot of people suggest the same things.
I *may spend some time scrolling through
*From usability: icons are good. pins similar for google map. pencil are good.
X appears after the comment can be clicked for editing (for safety)
*categories really confusing
force me - forced to make a decision. what if it's more than one categories.
Usability from a usability perspective: hard to understand the symbols/categories. Maybe hashtags?want to be able to hide the icons in the picture, so I can see the picture.
only if I mouse over the image they all show up.two ways of exploring comments is nice.
