Planner Feedback

After completing the experiments of the planner pages, feedback was gained to identify the most appropriate colour scheme and titling to the pages. This feedback was gained through presenting individuals with the 5 designs and asking them to write a response to the two feedback questions.

1. Which colour scheme do you prefer and why? (The aim is for the colours to be gender neutral)

In the responses gained, there was a clear favourite with the design presented below. This was mainly due to the hierarchy of each colour being clear and therefore separating each section of the double page. This separation is also said to add vibrancy and therefore interest/attraction to the page. These are comments that I would agree with as well as the design fulfilling the desired appearance.  

2. Which title do you prefer and why?

This question received a greater variety of responses. Many preferred the title 'GET STUFF DONE' due to it being straight to the point and encouraging. The suggestion to add an exclamation mark was suggested and is something that I am going to experiment with. In terms of the size of the text, there were mixed responses. Some favourited the large size of the 'GET STUFF DONE' title, however it was also said that this made the text more aggressive. After seeing the designs printed I would also agree with this comment. The title 'Week 1' was said to 'keeps time moving forward' and 'motivates' the audience to keep track of their activities weekly. When considering this title more and through knowledge of using planner notebooks, at first it can be difficult to maintain the use of a planner weekly. If this were to occur and the title to differ between week numbers then this may discourage the user to continue using the notebook as they would feel the need to miss a page. This is not what is desired by gifting the audience with the planner

In reflection of the comments made, further adjustments are going to be made to the above design. The title that will accompany the design is 'GET STUFF DONE' in the smaller type size. This is due to the larger text possibly being received as being aggressive rather than encouraging.
