Design Review
Design and Usability
The interview is to review your design progress and spot more usability problems with your user interface.
You should be prepared to:
- Explain the user interface, including the purpose, users and important components
- Show drawings of design changes, including a walkthrough of the interface and the heuristic evaluation.
- Show your updated list of data tables and column names.
- Describe the feedback you have received from your client and user experience experts.
- Describe the design changes you plan to make.
Upload your most current design documents and link them to your web site before the design review, so that we can refer to them during the review. They should be separate documents from the walkthrough documents. I want to see the progression of your design.
These documents may need updating. They should have different version numbers from the prior document, so that I can see the progression of your design. Your documents should have the date that they were created just below the title:
- Simplified Hierarchical Task Analysis design
- Paper prototype design improved by the feedback from client and user experience expert.
