Major Studio | INTERFACE : Final Project, Current State of Affairs

Here is the to do list for my project:

1. Working Prototype (currently on-line in stripped down form. fill in holes to allow for user testing)
2. User Testing (once Working Proto is fleshed out get some commentary and responses)
3. Visualization Ideas (see earlier entry. brainstorm and research ideas of polar opposites to develop choices of visualizations to add interest and dynamism to site)
4. Tag Cloud (see how useful this element will be to the site. could be an easy and dynamic categorical/shortcut tool rather than just deciding categories on own)
5. Information Architecture (keep revising and adding. Build in Table lists in “preparation” for database building)
6. Result Word List (ex. pessimism… list pretty much exists in past blogs. need to organize “ranking” … maybe get some user voting… and rank along with neg/pos rating)
7. Meta Information for the site
8. User Scenarios (nearly complete)
9. Research/Investigate other sites’ rating methods
10. MOCK SITE: build out style frames for each individual site. perhaps combine with user scenarios to animate a step by step example of a user’s experience.
