Time flies too quickly for my liking and it has been a while since I put entries to this blog. I have to admit I'm not very diligent on writing in this blog. I guess I'm not used to it and I kept forgetting to write! =(...Oh well I should do better from now on.
The vacation break is almost over already!=( During the break, I've started working on my System Plan. I've got my draft personas and user scenarios. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do this but I'll find out from the feedback I suppose. I've never built personas before and it's actually quite hard. You really need to put yourself in the user's perspective and try to figure out their goals on coming to your site. Then, think about how would "you" as a user will accomplish that goal. It's sounds simple but it takes quite an imaginative and creative minds to write the narrative stories.
I also started sketching the site map for the website structure. Again, there are a few things I'm not so sure about such as: does site map include the functionality task flow? or would that make the sitemap too complex? If anyone has any advice on this, please let me know.
I have started sketching the visual design layout as mentioned in the previous entry. This will help me to start with the CSS to design the website. The design will no doubt will keep evolving as I'm going through it and learning new things.
I haven't done wireframes yet. Yes, I know! it's weird I should've done the wireframes first before visual design layout! What I meant was I've done the wireframing on my head and sketches on my sketchbook. But only me can see that clearly and know what's going on. So what I need to do it to translate that into a more understandable format so other people can see what I'm planning to do.
There are clearly a lot more things to do before I can finish my System Plan. I'm planning to do them this weekend so I can receive some feedback on Tuesday.
