We also were given a Task to do in pairs me and Andy paired up. Our task was to create the Home page for a fictional online organic grocery store called Parsnip.com. We used the ten steps we had learnt today and firstly researched organic food and who the target audience will be. In our next session we will begin to come up with ideas for the site and the content we need to add.

How to Design an Interactive Product
Today we learnt the ten steps to follow when designing an interactive product. When designing anything don't just jump on a computer. Before you even touch the computer plan what you are going to do down on paper. Think of the target audience and what the client is after. Research what is already out there and think how can I improve that?. Start off by researching the product or service and brainstorming ideas down on paper. We don't actually go on the computer and start designing it till we have a concept down on paper. Once this is done we can create a wireframe in Photoshop which we can show to the client in this case James our tutor. Once we have the green light we can go ahead and design the site. I will follow the ten steps when create sites in the future because its a helpful guide.
