User Test 4

For the user testing I conducted on the 16th of March, I asked 7 people to take part in the test. One by one, I had them fill in a photoshop document to determine what categories fit best with certain colours. While we did have a set amount of colours ready we encouraged the testers to use a colour that wasn't there if they didn't feel the given colours complimented the categories.

The testers all had a basic understanding of using photoshop, though if we were to ask more people and they were not able to use photoshop we planned on using photoshop for them and put the colours with the categories they wanted. While most of the testers used the colours given, a few used colours that they thought would work better. I also had to reset the document when a new user was using testing it so that they wouldn't have their answers influenced by the previous tester.

From the results received, two of the categories were given the same colour every time by each user, one was expected, green for nature but the other was orange for food which I thought was interesting. Leisure almost received all the same colour each time (sky blue) but two other times the other blue colour was chosen. Shopping, Bars & Nightlife and Culture had the most varying results from person to person. Several of the testers even stated that they thought Culture was the hardest one to pick for.
