Australian Bushfires - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Digital design tools such as XML, draw.io and photoshop
      - Visual studio code
      - DB browser
      - Govhack data library
    - - Data used is contains no personal information
      - All data is open source and creative commons
  - - - The Australian privacy act applies, as this is a government agency
      - APP 3 states that companies may collect solicited personal information only when necessary to the function of the program, the location of the user is required to function, and therefore is legal under APP 3
      - APP 11 states that an organization must take appropriate steps to protect the personal data of an individual, since the program doesn't disclose user locations to other users, the program is legal under this APP
      - No other APP directly relates to the program being produced and does not apply
    - - Both data sets fall under the creative commons licence
        
        The data can be redistributed, adjusted and adapted in any way necessary
        
        The original data must be sourced
        
        Anything produced with this data must also use the creative commons licence
    - - I am under no contractual obligations
  - - - There is no budget for the project, as there should be no expenditures
    - - The project would be a government application, but would likely remain primarily in my management
    - - I have 25 days to produce a proposal for my idea
  - - - No style guide has been provided
    - - The style would likely be a clean, well formatted application with minimal clutter and a simplistic design
      - The colour pallet would consist of light colours, a white base with red foreground
    - - A simple design with clearly conveyed information would best suite the applications purpose and the user, as a user needs to quickly receive the provided information
      - Icons with a similar design to the physical fire warning signs could help to convey the idea and appeal to users that regularly view these signs
- - - - Screens
        
        Primary page showing danger in the immediate area
        
        Secondary page showing regional danger
        
        Notification warning of high dangers
    - - Touch screen
  - - - Location
      - date/time
    - - User location
    - - GovHack database
    - - GovHack Database
- - - - The program should be designed to fit on a mobile device as a smart phone would be the most likely for somebody to have on them
      - The program should clearly state information in a clear text format as users may struggle with small letters
      - Although unlikely, a sound cue should also accompany the notification to warn those that can't read for whatever reason
    - - Information on the immediate area should be first to be shown when opening the application
      - Notifications should only be sent when the user is at risk, to reduce the chances someone will ignore or block them
      - Symbols should be used to more quickly update the user on the current situation
    - - The users location shall not be used or returned, and any information gathered regarding it would remain on the users device
      - The program should provide information on the fire safety of an area, regardless of the current risk
    - - The program should provide information on the users location, any location they select, and the times of the year those locations are at risk of a fire
    - - Symbols will always have a subtitle to accompany them, so that a user can still read text to understand the situation while they learn what an icon means
      - The program should have clearly labelled buttons
  - - - The users will likely be people living in or around rural areas
        
        Less interaction with technology
      - Some users could be people planning trips
    - - Agriculture
      - Wilderness
      - Hiking
      - Camping
    - - 16-30
        
        Decent technical skill
        
        Will likely be able to understand and use program easily
      - 31-60
        
        may struggle with software
        
        Likely needs a simplistic design to better understand
    - - Mobile phone
        
        Screen should be sized to a mobile phone, as this is the most likely device for someone to have on them at any given time
        
        The application will be on touch screen
  - - - Firm understanding of design techniques
    - - Several coding tools
      - The GovHack database collection
      - Any visual design software
    - - Good understanding of creating UI/UX systems
      - Capable with a database structure and program
