Peer Review Activity

What I Heard in Peer Review: 

Grace informed me that I had all of the required pieces, but could do a better job of specifically stating what design choices fell into what categories (emphasis, contrast, alignment, organization and proximity) instead of simply stating that the interface contained all of those design aspects. She also said that I could expand my modes of communication part as well. She liked the way that I broke up my essay and organized it into different pages.

Kim gave me the idea to add navigation at the bottom of the page as well as in the navigation bar at the top of the page. She told me that this would help my viewer navigate through the essay as a whole and coherent piece. She also told me that I should incorporate more about how to actually use the tool (how to sign up, get started, make a mix etc.) I had a lot of good rhetorical analysis, but never really covered the step by step procedure of using the tool, so I am definitely going to add that. She also recommended that I add a conclusion piece to the essay. She really liked my incorporation of screen shots, but told me that I might want to refer to them within my text.

What I Need to Do: 

  • I am definitely going to add more to my design/modes of communication page
  • I am going to work on adding extra navigation at the bottom as well as information to guide the viewer through the essay the way that I intended them to and to tie the essay together and make it more user friendly.
  • I am going to add a conclusion section.
  • I am going to add more information about how to use the tool
  • Refer to my screen shots in the text in order to incorporate them more smoothly
