It's all about the Users...Paul Clarke

As the Module Coordinator for this collaboration, I was surprised we hadn't seen an awful lot of Paul during the conception and design phase of the project, but this had it's own benefits as he hadn't experienced much of the piece at all. Fresh meat he he...

Paul was a very quick clicker, so he was out of the experience quite quickly compared to some Users. This was good in itself because he didn't get much of a chance to fully think about the choices he made during the experience. Again he didn't get to the very end of the piece, but this may have been a lack of patience more than anything; after leaving the experience he had to rush off to get lunch before an afternoon meeting.

Interestingly, when Snivitz asks what the User's favourite colour is, the desktop background is predominantly blue. Every User before Paul stated that their favourite colour is blue, however

Snivitz: "What is your favourite colour?"
Paul: "Red"
