Storyboard 3 - Personal Exploration

The three storyboards above show a sketch of how our user, Jack, will interact with the interface. Reiterating, Jack a college sophomore who has been following the popular TV reality show, Miami Ink on Discovery Channel. However, because this is his first tattoo, Jack doesn’t really know anything about the tattoo process. He decides that he wants something small, intricate but cool, as his first tattoo piece.

Because Jack has some misconceptions about tattoos, that they can be arbitrarily small an intricate, he has in mind something small but detailed. However, Jack doesn't know where to begin. He pulls up our interface and begins browsing random tattoos just to get some sort of inspiration. By doing so, Jack learns a bit more about realistic tattoo designs and soon begins to realize that maybe his tattoo idea may not be too realistic.

Next, Jack begins to get a conception of the different styles available, but he isn't aware of the different genres. No matter, Jack begins dragging art pieces he likes to his Sketchpad onto the right of the screen, as in the second image. He can delete any he doesn't want. Finally, he is happy with the little collection of selections he has made, and is ready to learn more about it. He clicks Analyse my Selection and goes to the third image.

The computer then analyses the designs he has selected and gives him some sort of feedback about it, telling him about what tattoo genres he seems to like, and also (based on some weighted function) recommends tattoo artists he should look for based on the styles he likes and the distance from a specified location. This also means that there will be a database of tattoo artists, which includes their specialties, locations and preferences. By repeatedly browsing the different tattoos at random and seeing what sort of choices he likes, Jack learns a bit more about what sort of tattoo genre he likes, and can kick start his tattoo design process.
