I received a total of 46 responses to the suitor survey with some helpful feedback. Here are some highlights:
- Vote: Avatar
However I find weather to be a close second. - Vote: Avatar
They might all be good ideas based on age. Avatar is the most expressive, but limited to cutesy. It is the most clear about the emotion being expressed, but not the most visually interesting for me. Weather is interesting, might be interesting to be more clear. - Vote: Avatar
I like weather too. I wanted to vote for both. - Vote: Liquid
I think avatars/emojis/icons are overused, personally. - Vote: Weather
I LOVE the avatar, but my apprehension is that I’m sure users would still lie about their
feelings. With the weather, it’s more impersonal.
My desire for this app to be experimental along with this feedback has lead me to choose weather as the winning concept despite avatar having more votes. I will infuse the weather app with the clarity of the avatar concept and the play of the basic elements of texting of the liquid concept.
