Week 13 Day 2: Case Study Critiques & Setting Up Usability Tests

Today we did four one-on-one critiques per person.  The critiques were handed in to our professor directly afterwards, so no word yet on how that went.

We also began our short term usability testing project, which ties directly into the projects we've been doing for the past two months or so.  After our professor presented a short lecture on kinds of usability tests, I made two, one for the Pier Hotel's current website on FiveSecondTest.com, and one for my revised wireframe on Chalkmark.

Week 13.0 Outside of Class: Final Case Study Documentation

Since Monday I've been very busy, plugging away at completing page layouts, write-ups, and any revisions to my graphics.  Here are my spreads for today's critiques.














The process was definitely rushed these past two days.  I hope to go back & fix a number of things: a more continuous narrative to tell a story, consistency within captions, more explanations, some subtle color underneath imagery with white backgrounds (to lessen the white on white), & overall better develop the case study.
