1. Art 155 Information Architecture In-class Presentation Week 14A

2. :: calendar

3. :: today’s agenda
1st thing: meet with the person who collected the same data as you to see if you came up with the same results. When you are done, transfer your final Excel spreadsheet onto the designated folder on Interface09. I will take it from there.
Take a break from the group research project and work on your visual comps/home page redesigns (the other part of your final project).
If I get a chance to assemble all data in class, I will post the new master spreadsheet online so that everyone can add up their columns. We will finish this by the end of our next class.

4. :: homework
due by the end of next class ::
Once posted online (on our class web site), use the master spreadsheet to add up your two columns. Place your totals - both numbers (total #’s) and percentages (%) on the bottom of your column and save out your spreadsheet and bring it to class.
Continue to work on your visual home page redesigns. Be sure to show them to me during the design process for feedback.

5. :: final project due :: 04.24.06 due :: 05.01.06
There are two parts to your final assignment:
Group Research Project:
We will all collect data and create the following:
A web site to display our findings
Various visual charts/graphs/tables/etc to display data
A short paper/brief write-up to be placed on the web site
1st Draft Comp/Visual Design/Mockup of your redesigned site Home Page
After all of the hard work that you put into the redesign of your client site, you now need to produce one visual comp of the home page.
EXTRA CREDIT: for those who would like to increase their grade (or make up for their lack of class participation - you know who you are), you can produce more than one visual comp of your redesigned site. It must be significantly different - a completely different theme - in order to receive credit.
