Project 2: Design Plan Analysis

jtirrell — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 10:54:38 -0400

Each group's task is to respond to this blog post with a design plan that fits an existing website. To do this, follow these steps:

In your group, find a website that you use frequently or that you think works well.
A design plan includes a statement of purpose. To create one, analyze the sense of purpose, audience, and context of the site (information about statements of purpose is on pages 40 and 41 in Compose, Design, Advocate excerpt 2).
After forming a statement of purpose about the site you are analyzing, finish the design plan by examining the medium, strategies, and arrangement of the site (more information about design plans is on pages 52-54 of Compose, Design, Advocate excerpt 2).
