Project #3: Site Redesign (part deux)



3. I was able to get the third page done for part 2 of project 3! If you were to click on the "organization" link from the side navigation bar, located on the "anniversary" page/tab, you would see this page, the "Organization" page. Notice the highlights in the middle of the page, it keeps a consistent layout continued from the first two pages. Since the organization page is still located in the anniversary section, notice that the long picture stays the same, visually keeping the organization page within the anniversary section. For the drop down options under the Organization link in the navigation bar on the left, I kept the look of the links consistent by leaving the words italicized with accompanying arrows, but I made it hierarchically secondary by having the links in lowercase, not uppercase.



2. The second page, when clicking on the new "Anniversary" tab, still the only thing that changed was the event and anniversary tab.



1. From the first part of Project 3, I was to redo my initial layout with the results from "trunk test #1" in mind. What is a trunk test? A "test" given to a subject that is not in your usability class; where you take a screen shot of your redesign and bring it into photoshop, adding a gaussiun blur with a 1.5 radius. Then I printed my blurry site out and handed it to 5 people and asked them to locate 5 site elements (site ID, page name, section and subsections (main navigation), local navigation (secondary navigation), "You are here" indicator(s), and search) and circle them. All of the people took about the same amount of time to circle everything and they all made tiny but different mistakes from eachother, so the information i could gather inconsitent and not very helpful. So I just changed what I thought to be slightly confusing, which wasnt much...

I added an "Events" tab and I changed the "centenary" tab to "anniversary", because not many people knew what centenary meant (it means 100th year anniversary).
