Today we had our first lesson with James about designing for the user. I learnt about how to make my web page easy for the user to get around. The user could get confused so make it easy for them to navigate around. What I think is a good design and easy to navigate around the user might not follow the site how it was intended to be used. Never mislead the user a good interface is invisible no one should know it is there.
We also had to do a group activity which involved us going round the building and identifying things that don't work like they are intended to. We had to go off in groups and find three things around the building that are designed badly. My group found the fire door on the landing, the push lever on the main entrance door and the fire exit sign in the games area. We took pictures of them and we are going to talk about them next week.
