The Official Will Oakley Homepage A “Making Of” Retrospective! Will Oakley INF 385E Fall 2006 IA Project
Eight Minutes Filled With… • Reviewing the site’s goals and users • Examining the steps taken during the design process. • A Website Walkthrough with Design Discussion • My Website Wish List: Future Additions and Improvements
The Site’s Purpose • To Create A Digital Portfolio of the Creative Works of This Guy. • Site intended to entertain users and promote creator
The Predicted Users of The Site • Probably just this guy. Maybe his parents (Wife too busy blogging…).
The Targeted User Groups • People Interested In Fiction • Casual Readers • Fans of Comedic Writing • Publishing Professionals
Labeling and Card Sort Exercises: Their Impact on Design • Labeling Exercise showed: • Non-writers don’t know writing terms! • You can’t figure out my blogs by their titles. • Card Sort Showed… • Separate News Page Unnecessary • Global and Local Navigation could be merged
So What Did We End Up With? Lets See… http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~wmoakley/Will_Oakley_Writing/WillOakleyHomePage.html
What My Site Would Like For Christmas (or sometime in the Future) • Increased Thinking About Accessibilty • Utilize More Dynamic Elements • Add More Images to Stories • Create Audio/Video Section • Use CSS to Print Stories as whole
