Week 007

Shoot! I hope I didn't actually miss Week 007... Or maybe I just need to journal Week 007 before class of Week 008. I always confuse myself with these things, because homework for a class is done as homework for Week 001, but is due on Week 002.... Bleh. NEXT -->

Okay, so here's the real journal. We got a bit done last week. Barbara created an awesome color study for us, Ivona went on an exploration of a library to find out about usability in obtaining information, which drew some nice conclusions for us, Amy finished our Competitive Analysis, and I snagged all the code off HACER's website and made into something we can actually work with on my computer.

Kristoffer gave us some great insight into our next research steps this week and was great about helping us with options.

Kris - Not sure if you read my journal from a few weeks ago and changed something because of that... If you didn't, well it doesn't matter because you were great this week. If you did, then thank you and I have the utmost respect for a teacher who listens to their classes opinions. Thank you.

For next week Barbara is continuing in color and developing a color survey we can give to people to further test our color ideas for the site, Ivona is writing up some usability survey questions, Amy is preparing a SWOT Analysis, and I am working on a status update and meeting agenda for HACER to make sure everything we are doing and communicating with them is aligning with our goals, objectives, and HACER's mission. I also want to clarify what our visual design goals are. I've got it down to a T:




Fresh & Professional
Friendly
Multi-cultural (without looking like a Mexican restaurant)




Tomorrow (Monday March 16th) we will be meeting with HACER to do some consultation on their content edits as well as present our color and usability research. Wish us luck!
