Project 2: Part 1: Activity Diagram
Activity Diagram Step 1: To be completed by Wednesday 10/14
Choose a search that takes place in the physical environment of your establishment/organization and perform do the search. Document any aspect of that search and create an activity diagram showing the steps in sequence of the activities you took to meet your goal. Do this documentation through use of photos and/or notes. The diagrams can be designed in whichever way you choose (InDesign, Illustrator). Have a rough diagram for class on Wed 10/14.
Activity Diagram Step 2: To be completed by Monday 10/19.
According to Norman's Action Cycle (from the last reading assignment), you started out with a GOAL that initiated a search of some sort, that was translated into an INTENTION setting forth a sequence of ACTIONS that were executed in the PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, you are at the point to begin EVALUATION.
Now that you have documented your search AND started to diagram the sequence of actions, add annotated notes to your diagram initiating the EVALUATION step in the Action Cycle. Look at each ACTION you took throughout your search experience annotate the following:
-Perception/Interpretation: indicate your expectations for what you thought would happen in your actions and interactions with people/objects/places (your activity diagram should show what really happened)
-Evaluation: problems, needs, or obstacles that inhibited your search distracting you from meeting your goal faster or easier
-Propose: annotate possible design interventions, moments where design could possibly alter, change, enhance the experience
FINAL DIAGRAMS DUE MONDAY 10/19 at the beginning of class. We will be reviewing each in a class critique. Diagrams DO NOT need to be printed. Have PDF of the diagram to be projected.
