DUE: Thursday March 10th
The purpose of this project is to have students analyze the way a user should impact design. During class, the student will have created three (3) imaginary persona character sheets which they will use to re-design a news site of their choice. The persona sheet must include a detailed description of the six points of user design discussed in class. The webpage re-design should be a simplification of the website, akin to the shift from the New York Times to the New York Times Skimmer. All modifications should be aimed at improving the function of the selected website for those specific three users and should minimize the four forms of work discussed in class.
After the student has turned in their image (.jpg) to the professor at the end of class, the student will then post their image to a new entry on this blog, labeled "Mini-Project #7: redesign". Included in this post should be the three (3) user descriptions already written by the student, as well as a new paragraph which briefly describes the reasons for your modifications. This final paragraph can be short, but should explain how you changed the website to make things easier and more focused for the personas you designed. Use terminology discussed in class lecture.
This entry should be posted the same day as class, no later.
