Studio Brief 2 - Initial Ideas 2

To follow on from the playing card designs, it was possible to begin adding other interactions in the app. For example the card game would be found under one tab where as other information on politicians and ways to vote will be on others.

 Here, the design shows how the suggestion game works. Through a series of multiple choice questions the app will begin to pick out the cards that the viewer finds most important, putting them to one side, for the end result.

 After the cards are gathered, the app then find the party with the most cards chosen and suggests a political party for the viewer to vote for. Another thing to consider would be to include a second suggested party that has the second most amount of cards chosen. By summarising the chosen cards at the end of the game the viewer can then understand what their own political views are, if they did not already know.

On the second tab for the app, the politicians that are representative of the party can be found. The design for these cards was to use the higher suits in a deck of playing cards. This order can be found in poker and other card games. 

The cards will allow the viewer to click on their profile and find out more about the politicians, including their attributes and commitments to their parties.

Another option that has been added is the star icon, which when clicked on, will allow the viewer to save a page of their favourite politicians. This will make it easier to find them again when returning to the app in future.

Clicking on the profile of the politician will extend the page to a scrollable interaction. This page will then display a quote from the politician that is most recognised, their personal belief in the party, news headlines relating to the MP and links to recent news stories which they may be included in.

The last section of the app will show the ways in which to vote. This will include voting face-to-face at a polling station, postal vote or by proxy vote. By including this section of the app the viewer may feel more inclined to vote after they find out which party is most suited to their views. This will then reinforce the core point of the interactive app, to make younger people cast their vote in an election.
