Strategy Session

Today, I started working on my “interrogate an interface” project. I began by creating a login for Clyp.it (the audio sharing interface) and then perused the site. Much to my chagrin, the site appears to be little more than two pages. Given its minimalist purpose, this seems appropriate; however, I’m going to have to do some outside-the-box thinking to figure out how to incorporate screenshots that don’t all look the same.

This Friday (3/6), in lieu of class, I will do more extended research into the interface. I’ll probably scour the web to see what others have to say about Clyp.it. Additionally, I will complete the Writer/Designer analysis questions. Time permitting, I will begin brainstorming my web essay.

Realistically, I probably won’t accomplish much over break, so my next deadline will be the weekend I return to Blacksburg before class. Over that weekend, I wish to complete my outline and get all of the screenshots I’ll need for my presentation. For the beginning of that week, I’ll work on my presentation and begin rehearsing.

Given the scope of the project, this should give me plenty of time to complete everything.
