Checklist Observations:

1. Cover all areas of analysis in my essay: Yes, I have incorporated analysis on all of the categories in my web essay. I want to expand more on the design choices/modes of communication part.

2. Include well integrated screenshots: Yes, I have incorporated screen shots into my web essay. I think that I need to work more on integrating them into the text by actually referring to them in detail.

3. Set up clear navigation: Yes, I have set up both vertical navigation in my primary nav bar as well as navigation at the bottom of each page (Prev, Next buttons). I want to include a little blurb about what is coming up next in the web essay in order to guide my audience through my essay in a coherent way.

4. Embed my presentation: Yes, I have embedded my PowerPoint presentation using Slideshare. I want to add more of a conclusion/reccomendation aspect to the page.

What I Did…

I added direct references in my text to my screenshots and I added a little blurb at the bottom of each page in bold to guide my viewers towards the next categories of analysis in my essay.

Why I Did It...

Adding the direct text references gives the screenshots more meaning and helps the viewer understand why the screenshot is contributing to the overall meaning and direction of my essay. I think that referring to them directly allows them to be seamlessly integrated; there is no way a viewer will be confused about the placement/necessity of a certain screenshot.

Adding the little bolded blurbs at the bottom of each page helps my viewer seamlessly navigate through my essay. They are aware of what is coming up next and what they have just read about. I think that this extra form of navigation is very user-friendly and allows the viewer to understand the direction that the essay is going in and in what order they should navigate through the essay to view it as a whole.
