Vincent starts by creating a new trip. He enters in the destination with a
textbox that has autocomplete with locations. Since he will be flying to
Europe, he picks the plane icon, along with the male symbol. He then
selects the 12 days he will be there using the calendar module that
appears as he clicks the date.

Pros 
-

• Easy to learn because there are

• simple icons that the user
  sees which immediately describe what the icon represents
  without unnecessary words (aka, picture of airplane = travel
  there by plane) 
  Cons
  
• Lack of text may be slightly longer for user to figure out whats
  going on

After he hits go, a selection of items are selected and automatically
placed in his backpack. However, because he is a hat-enthusiast, he
decides to bring along 12 hats with him, increasing the weight of his
backpack, and now notices that a luggage symbol has appeared,
suggesting that bringing just a backpack may no longer be appropriate.

Vincent pulls up the app and inputs his destination, Europe, how long
he is staying, 12 days, and the nature of his trip (vacation). He also
inputs his gender so the list generated by the app can be tailored more.

Pros

• The layout is very simple, and it is clear
  where the travel information should be 
  entered 
  Cons
  
• There is no indication of how to move to
  the next view

Pros

• All the fields for information to be entered
  is located in one place, making it easy to
  quickly enter all the information at once
  Cons 
  
• Entering all the information via typing may
  be a bit time consuming

Pros

• If a mistake is made in entering travel information,
  it is easy to simply re-select the field and correct
  the information
  Cons 
  
• There is no indication of how to change travel
  information once Vincent has moved to the next
  view.

Vincent sees a two paneled screen. He wants to check the weather in
Germany, his first destination, so he looks at the upper panel and sees
that the panel contains weather information. He wants to see the average
weather over the next several weeks, so after some exploring he sees a
little graph icon in the bottom of the weather panel, clicks that, and is
displayed with the temperature over time. After he has checked the
weather, he's now ready to start packing. He decides to start with toiletries,
as those are his most precious items. He looks at the bottom panel and
sees that there is a toiletries category.

Pros 

• The suitcase on top of the scale is a clear
  metaphor to the user that the suitcase is
  'being weighed' and therefore the user can
  see the estimated weight of their suitcase
  on the scale
• Each icon is clearly labelled with a category,
  and with their standard icon look the user is
  prompted to select the icon to view it in 
  detail.
• The left and right arrows on the weather widget
  along with the highlighted circles below it make
  easy for the user to realize that they can switch
  the widget by toggling left and rightCons
• Since the view is evenly divided between the
  weather widget and the scale/suitcase, it is not
  immediately clear what the main purpose of the
  view is
• Because the view is evenly divided, between two
  different widgets, the user would have to take
  time to explore all of them to figure out what each
  does

Pros 

• For each widget visible on this view, there is at
  most one action to be done, making it fast to
  complete actions
  Cons
  
• Because the widget can be toggled left and right,
  in order to find out what each widget is the user 
  would have to toggle through all the widgets to
  discover them.

Pros 
Cons

He clicks the toiletries category and it opens a checklist with entries that
were automatically generated for him. He packs conditioner and aspirin and
checks the checkboxes next to the items. They immediately move to the
bottom of the list. He realizes that the list hasn't autogenerated a toothbrush
for him, so he decides to add it. He sees a textfield at the top of his screen
called "Add another entry", so he taps it and enters "toothbrush" into  textfield.
It adds the entry to the top of his list. He selects the entry and sees details
about the item appear at the bottom of his screen, such as weight and
category. He also sees the option to "don't bring" the item.

Vincent finishes packing everything in the clothing section, and only some
things in the toiletries section. When he goes back to the main menu, he
realizes that the categories where he has packed everything have a green
icon in the corner. The categories where he has only packed some items
appear as a yellow yield icon. Categories where he has packed no items
have a red "x" in the corner. Now that he is midway through packing, he
wants to know how much his current stuff weighs, in case he goes over the
luggage weight limit. Conveniently, he realizes the weight is located at the
top bottom panel. He sees he is over the limit, so he wants to know which
category is taking up the most space. He searches around and notices that
the bottom of each category also has a weight for all items in that category.

Vincent has finally finished packing but he realizes he's pretty bad at it
because his luggage is pretty much overflowing. He wants to check how
to pack more efficiently, so he goes to the main menu again and sees two
arrows on the left and right edges of the upper panel and 5 dots near that
bottom that indicate there are more panels to the left and right. He decides
to check those out, and swipes left. On the left is panel for packing tips!
He follows the instructions and now everything fits perfectly.
