Week 2 Day 1: Experience Mapping Notes & Data Structuring

On Monday, we learned about the various ways to map information & processes for experience & web design.

Flowcharts represent a sequence of steps utilizing geometric shapes, arrows, & a reference key.

Task models describe the activities a user performs to reach their goal by showing both the steps needed & behavior adopted.

User journeys (or usability diagrams) also detail steps a user must go through to complete a task, but differ from task models by showing required interactions & paths and differ from sitemaps by showing specific routes through the site.

Site maps combine all the project documents & show the intended structure in either list or visual form.

Funnel diagrams show how many users  pass through a certain route on the site.

Afterwards, we got into our groups to continue our football project.  We went back to our initial word list & divided like words among each other, narrowing down to the most important terms.  I was responsible for the dimensions (time, space, etc.) of football.  The list follows...

100 x 53 yard field

Endzones

Four 15 minute quarters

12 minute halftime

15 minute overtime

40 second play clock
