]]> The following will outline the schedule I will follow to have a rough draft ready to go for class on March 20th.

  • 3/6: Create a login for the tool (if necessary)
  • 3/6: Research what the tool does and how it works
  • 3/6: Fill in the Writer/Designer Analysis Questions
  • 3/15: Outline your web essay (think though the different parts)
  • 3/6: Take screenshots to support your analysis
  • 3/18: Draft your web essay
  • 3/18: Draft your slideshow

I will give myself ample time to complete my outline and then create the slideshow and write the essay. This will provide for thorough work. I want to complete a good portion of the project for this Friday’s 3/6 class so I won’t have to worry about doing too much work over spring break.

]]> While looking at the four websites that interrogated an interface, I learned many things that I did and did not want to do for my own creation. Below, you can see what I’ve decided:

Yay

On my interrogation, I want to include navigation tools to help my audience read through my essay easily. I want to include hyperlinks so that there are multiple ways to figure out what I’m talking about and to provide extra assistance. I also really want to include my own experience with Masher on the page so the audience can see what I did with it and refer to it as they’re trying to figure out the application as well. It’s also important to include some contrast so the essay isn’t completely boring and deters my audience from reading my essay. I can do so through the use of color, headings & subheadings, bullet points and images.

Nay

I really don’t want to write huge blocks of text because it’s not easy to read. I also want to avoid overusing pages and images so that the whole document becomes confusing and distracting.
