We started off class by helping Jesse get on the server and also going over the first assignment. There were good points mostly and some bad points but over all we did a briliant job at showing our understanding of usability. Go Team! 😀

After we talked about the first assignment we got on the topic of our second assignment which was to choose an interface and how to design it better. Some, but not all of the ideas we came up with were;

-ATM machines

gas pumps

-Grocery self-check outs

-Key Fobs

-Gas Station coffee makers

Automattic car washes

and so on and so forth

After we brain stormed as a class we were put into teams of three and set off to come up with what we were going to re-design. In the group of three there is a Project Leader, an Information Architect, and a Design Lead.

We then discussed the Bare Honey Update. We all helped out with the “b” problem. It was either to serious or hard to tell that it was a “b”. Some of us came up to the board and doodled our ideas of what could help solve the problem.

After that we watched a video about a company called IDEO

We wrapped class up by getting back in our groups for a little more discussion how to re-design the interfaces we choose.
