a journey into UX design.

I included a short video from Cam in my user tests for project 3, because it was such a high compliment. He is a sommelier for The Four Seasons, with certification and all. My project was on natural wines, and after he tested the site, he asked about the content. He thought I had gotten…

Well, this last blog post for the semester is coming to you from a bit of a headache. Admittedly, I can overwork myself (pairs well with the perfectionism) and as of a few days ago I got hammered with a sickness. I know it was my body’s way of telling me that I’m erring on…

Back in Design for Publishing (oh, how far away two months ago feels) I had a conversation with a peer around scrapping work. They were hesitant to go away from an idea, despite the fact that multiple peers (and our tutor) hinted that a new direction might serve the idea better. My weigh in was…

So. Much. This. Week. From lectures, to personal reading, to redesigning the storehouse website… I think I’ll let this weeks scans speak for themselves.
