Advice - Flowcharts
Advice - Flowcharts
Flowchart advice: Know your shapes. Remember to always start with a START shape (rounded rectangle) and END with a rounded rectangle. The flowchart will usually have inputs and outputs (PARALLELOGRAMS) and decisions - Yes/No questions - that go in the DIAMOND shape and have 2 arrows from them. Something that happens 'in the background' is a process and is shown in the RECTANGLE. Remember that the shapes are joined with ARROWS NOT LINES.
If you forget the shapes, draw the flowchart anyway as you will get marks for having the steps in the correct order.

Advice - Wireframes and Visualisations
There can be little difference between these 2 in the exam because you won't have the time or the tools to make a high-fidelity visualisation. Remember to use placeholders for text, buttons, images and other media in a wireframe.
The key is annotation to explain your choices. ASK YOURSELF: Could someone else use this to make the product?
Think carefully about what elements will be on the screen/page and the usual position/layout of these.
Don't forget the navigation if an app or web page.
You should show the size and position of elements using boxes.
Annotate to explain size and position and choices. Eg. more important elements will be larger and more prominent.
Question 2 - Visualisation
Question 2 - Visualisation
The Chinese restaurant wants a touchscreen kiosk in its restaurant so people have an additional method of placing an order. Create a visualisation diagram to show the layout of the home screen.
Do this ON PAPER.

Advice - mind maps
Advice - mind maps
Make sure to include:
- a central node containing the theme, topic or task
- at least 2 other nodes. These can usually be Content, Layout and Branding (to include fonts, colours, accessibility).
- at least sub nodes from the other nodes. For Content nodes, be specific to the task.
It can help to plan out the product either as a list or as a visualisation BEFORE mind mapping.
