From Bricks to Blueprint: Key Outcomes from Our LSP Session

 

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 harmony

What are the Problem Here?

 THE TEXTBOOK STRUGGLE IS REAL ! Buying textbooks every semester is one of the biggest headaches for students, not only are they expensive, but finding second-hand options often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. While new students scramble to find affordable books, senior students are left with stacks of used textbooks they no longer need, with no easy way to pass them on. This mismatch creates a real gap: first-years face financial pressure, while seniors miss the chance to recoup some of their costs. Without a simple, centralized platform to connect the two, valuable books go unused, and students end up spending more than they need to. It’s an ongoing cycle of wasted money, time, and resources, and we think it’s time to change that.

Inside a Student’s Mind: The Book Swap Experience

  EMPATHY MAP This image shows an empathy map for users of a book swap or second-hand textbook marketplace, likely for UUM students. An empathy map is a visualization tool used in design thinking to gain deeper insight into users by exploring different aspects of their experience. Core Components of the Empathy Map Central Focus The map places the user (represented by a silhouette) at the center, with six key sections radiating outward to capture different aspects of the user experience. THINK Section (Left, Light Green) Key thoughts : "Are the books in good condition?" "Can I trust this seller/buyer?" "Why buy new if I can get it cheaper second-hand?" "I want to save money on textbooks and still get good quality." This section captures the rational considerations and questions users have during the book swap process. DOES Section (Top, Light Blue) Key behaviors : "Sends messages to negotiate prices or ask about book condition....
