User manual post

                User guide: Alicia Hepburn

Brand: Athlete and Friend

Model: Alicia Hepburn, iOS 1.2

Product Guide 

  Congrats! You just got your new friend, Alicia Hepburn 1.2, also known as “chiclet”.

Your new friend comes with following functions:

  • showing up to practice and helping teammates
  • listen to coaches and produce the strategies
  • tells teammates how to fix mistakes 
  • has fun doing sports such as softball, hockey, skateboarding and karate 
  • enjoys to learn new things

Getting Started 

  Before going to play sports with Alicia, you need to make sure you are ready with all of your gear. You will also need to be exited to play sports with Alicia, otherwise she thinks there’s no point in playing that sport at all. She will definitely listen to the people that communicate to her and don’t ignore her.

Accessibility 

  An easy way to get a hold of Alicia is simply to text her on her phone. However, she will usually be doing sports so you will have to wait until she is done because she doesn’t like to bring her phone during sports. If you are bored, Alicia would be within reach to assist you and would be someone you can have a texting conversation with. You will have to remember that Alicia will text later then an average person, probably later at around 10:00pm and you might see that text the next morning.

  During COVID-19 you can’t personally talk face to face to Alicia, but if you are in her bubble/cohort she will most likely respond to you, unless she is working on a project, then she will probably just ignore you. 

  If you are on social media and you wish to contact Alicia, she is unavailable because she doesn’t have any social media accounts, the reason she doesn’t have social media accounts is because she feels they are disgraceful to her privacy. If you have an email you can reach Alicia at any of her three gmail email accounts ( why she has three will always be a mystery ).

Settings 

Setting 1: Teammate 

   During softball or hockey games and practices you will find that Alicia is happy to communicate to you if you are having troubles with understanding strategies or if you can’t figure out where you are supposed to go, she will guide you. If you can see that Alicia is warming up with a player and you would like to talk to her she would be more then happy for you to join her and you can chat. 

If you need a more private chat she would be fine with that but you would have to wait until she isn’t busy with helping another person. If Alicia ever gets to play the position she likes to play, she will get really excited and will be super grateful.

Setting 2: Friend

    

  This mode is great because if you’re ever feeling down about something Alicia will be there to comfort you and if someone ever tries to hurt you Alicia will fight against her will to stand up and protect you. Whenever you want to just chat with her she would be far more delighted. When you want to get energetic you can definitely come to Alicia because if you’re energetic she can be super energetic too. Lastly in this mode when you are bored out of your mind Alicia will turn into an idea firework and come up with ideas that you could do with her.

Setting 3: Tired Tortoise 

  In this mode Alicia will be super tired probably because she stayed up too late and if you want anything from her she might just groan. During this terrible mode don’t ask Alicia for things, if  you want to ask her for things do it when she is in friend mode, definitely not when she is in tired tortoise mode. Remember if you ever see Alicia in this mode it will probably get less intense through out the day. The last thing you should know about this mode is that Alicia will be forgetful in this annoying mode, she will probably go on a limb and have a bunch of brain farts ( brain farts=forgetfulness ).

Warnings

This device may…

  • go to Tired Tortoise mode right after she get wet. It’s a weird thing but she will get really annoyed if she gets her clothes wet when she doesn’t want them to be wet 
  • have a kicking reflex. If you ever come to greet Alicia from behind she will have a reflex and might kick your head clean off, so be careful!
  • go completely hyper if she has too much sugar or has too much fun. If this ever happens grab anything that you think can harm you because Alicia will randomly pick it up and start wildly swinging it around
  • become a fast and furious geek. You would think this is fine but really it’s not because she will ramble about the fast and furious movie franchise forever and it will get very annoying to anyone standing near her, if this happens you can listen or do the smart thing and wait somewhere else until she clams down

Troubleshooting 

Problem  Solution 
You can’t find an object, glasses, pencil, etc. Look around on the floor and retrace your steps. If that doesn’t work, find Alicia and she will be more then happy to help, usually she will actually find the thing you were looking for.
You can’t figure out how to solve a problem  You can always come to Alicia, and with the best of her abilities she will try to fix your problem, but if it is something bigger then her ability’s she will tell you to go to an adult.
You need a reminder on how to do something  You can check the source where you got the info, Basecamp etc. If that doesn’t work find Alicia and if she knows about it she will give you a  reminder she will tell you it in a meaningful way that you would understand.

                                                                        

                                              

 Tips To Maintain Optimal Performance  

  • fuel with sushi, crackers, and lollipops
  • remember what her three modes are because they will start to show
  • be kind and friendly to her and she will do the same to you
  • have a conversation to her about activities you like to do because there just might be something in you have in common with her

Reflection

  I feel like I creatively communicate who I am in a great form. Through out the user manual I felt involved with the work from the launch phase of this project. During launch I was constructing creative plans for what I would do in my user manual, sure I still didn’t fully understand what the user manual was but I still felt that I would do great on this project. 

  Moving into the milestones I kept on expressing my ideas throughout the Memoji. With the Memoji I can reflect in a way where I can clearly see my contribution to the driving question. On a scale of one to ten I feel fully confident as in ten, because my Memoji had symbols that represent me and I know the Memoji had symbolic representations of creativity flowing throughout it. Moving into the user manual outline I can remember that I had to take a few moments to think of the ideas that I would base my user manual off of. When I was writing the outline for the user manual I realized that I made it so detailed and clever. Having me feel so proud of my work made me informed that I tried my best and I personally think I succeeded. 

  When I moved on to the user manual I have lots of draft copies and those draft copies pushed me and they kept getting better. When I got the final critique on my user manual I felt super proud that I pushed my limits and felt I succeeded.

  The overall reflection of my user  manual is that I did answer the driving question. I believe I did an amazing project and did the best I could which in my mind is an excellent thing to do.
