Process
Understanding whole -> Aiding one interaction Research: content, visual, interaction Architecture: 3 personas, streams of interactions, site-map Mocks: states, transitions, functional

Tasks
Developing Hierarchy Chunking Help media online Accessibility

Research

 * 1) Find some sites on the web that you like.
 * 2) Take screenshots of specific parts which are interesting
 * 3) Look into your content a bit more
 * 4) Specifically look for areas of improvement in your medium

Architecture

 * 1) Review your concept map and think of 5 area you might be able to help someone involved in your medium. Your help could be assisting them communicate, share, understand, listen, exchange, and generally interact.
 * 2) Once you have figured out 5 ideas, pick one to investigate deeper.
 * 3) With the one you have picked, identify 3 personas: Primary, secondary, and affected
 * 4) Take your primary persona and sketch out 3 scenarios in which you can help them in your medium
 * 5) Take your secondary and affected personas and do 1 scenario for each
 * 6) Combine your scenarios into a preliminary site map.

Implementation

 * 1) Put all of the above content into the sample blueprint page
 * 2) Rearrange the grid as necessary

This is a rough stage of the process. Your scenarios will change, as will your sitemap. The main focus for next week will be on your content and where you will intervene in your medium.
