For this assignment I will be producing an outline design for the user interface, for an application for a garden advice system The Outline design of the system is very important. The following points will be looked at:
- User interface

User Interface
With regards to user interface, I think they should use a GUI for the system as assuming that some of the customers will have a minimal amount of computer knowledge, thus making the system as easy to navigate through as possible. The start screen is important as if looks complicated or uninteresting customers may decide to not bother using the system. The ideal kind of main starting screen, is one, which will allow customers straight into any of the sub sections within the system. The diagram below shows how the screen should look similar to, it has all the main areas that they can go to via the buttons. All the customer has to do is simply select the button of the area that they want go to within the system. This would then take the users any other different areas that they want to look at e.g. the Plant types, this would then take them to into the specific area.
