Your instructor will divide you into groups to complete the following tasks:
- Select a website to explore and redesign. Students may come prepared with one to work on. Or groups may select something from Websites that Suck.
- In your group (2-3 people), analyse the site to decide its main purpose and intended audience.
- Brainstorm how to redesign the site to better meet the goals you identified for the audience you define.
- Rough out your ideas using PowerPoint (or Photoshop if a team member prefers).
- Each team will be asked to briefly (5 min) present your decisions in class. Be sure to cover:
- Diagnosis of what's wrong with the site.
- The purpose and audience identified.
- Design decisions or princples for re-design.
- At least one example of plans to implement the decision (illustrated with PowerPoint mock-up or described).
