Book Swap System

  When it comes to ideation, speed can spark creativity , and that’s exactly what Crazy 8’s is all about. Each of us grabbed a piece of paper, folded it into eight sections, set a timer, and sketched eight different UI ideas in just eight minutes. No overthinking, no erasing, just rapid-fire creativity! The goal? To diverge quickly , explore multiple ways to meet our user needs, and let go of the pressure to be perfect.

After all the Lego builds, sketch sprints, and intense brainstorming sessions — we finally brought our ideas to (digital) life! Meet our first-ever wireframes: the early blueprint of the BookSwap app that transforms student needs into scrollable screens. These wireframes were born from the voted Crazy 8's sketches , carefully chosen for their functionality, clarity, and student-first vibe. Each screen was designed using Figma , and trust us — nothing beats seeing our napkin-sketch dreams glow up into real interfaces.

  This is the winning combo from our Crazy 8’s brainstorm – where fast sketches met brilliant ideas and turned into the blueprint of our app!

  After a whirlwind of bricks, brainstorming, and moments, we proudly present the final Lego models that captured the heart of our design direction. What started as a playful exercise turned into a solid foundation for our user-centered solution. This is the Finalised Lego Model for User Needs This model shows: The challenges our users face (symbolized by obstacles and barriers). Their goals and motivations (represented by upward paths or light elements). Emotional states like frustration, curiosity, and relief, all visualized in creative Lego form. This is the Finalised Lego Model for Features & Functions This build represents the core features we identified: Clear navigation paths Personalized tools Real-time feedback loops Support systems for guidance This is the Video Showing the Full Lego Experience Watch how it all comes together: Users and their needs Features designed to meet those needs Connections built to show how everything works in ...

   Lego Serious Play (LSP) Purpose :  Who said ideation had to be boring? With Lego Serious Play (LSP) , we swapped whiteboards for bricks and brainstorms for build-storms! LSP helped us physically build our understanding of users and features, turning complex ideas into playful, colorful models. It wasn’t just fun (though it definitely was!). It was strategic, collaborative, and surprisingly insightful. Evidence and Diagram of Each Models :  User Need Models :  We began by building models to represent different types of users and the challenges they face . Whether it was a frustrated user stuck in a maze of features, or a user craving simplicity and speed, our Lego creations captured real human emotions and experiences. Functions/Features Models : T ranslating those needs into features and functions . Each Lego model became a physical metaphor for a tool or function the app needed. Connection Models :  Then came the magic moment: connecting it all togeth...
