ENGH 375 Final Project Presentation Sharon O’Boyle May 2014
My topic is: • A website that gives information about the classes that I have taken at George Mason
Why I chose this topic: • For friends, co-workers, family members • For potential graduate programs or future employers
The Strategy Plane • Product Objectives • An operational website • A webpage for each class • User Needs • Simple for friends and family • Clear for grad schools and employers • Difficulties • Hard to come up with an idea
The Scope Plane (1 of 2) • Functional Requirements • Public and available to anyone • One main webpage for each class • Different navigation options for different users • Allow for expansion • Difficulties • Need to limit features scope
The Scope Plane (2 of 2) • Content Requirements • Basic information about each course • My experience with each class • Examples of my work • Quotation and image • Difficulties • Need to limit content scope
The Structure Plane • Interaction Design – use conventions for navigation • Information Architecture – use similar structure on each page • Difficulties • Conflict between being innovative and being familiar
The Skeleton Plane • Information Design – four boxes on each page • Interface Design – don’t try anything fancy • Navigation Design • Top: alphabetical • Left side: by course type and semester • Difficulties • How much space to use? Fixed vs liquid?
The Surface Plane • Font– sans serif • Colors– blue, green, gold • Content • Find or create images • Write experiences • Locate and ‘pdf’ assignments • Difficulties • Experimenting with fonts/colors/images
