Outside of class we had to three different chapters this week. The first chapter was from User Experience. The expanded on the definition of it. The book said that UX is the creation and synchronization of the elements that affect the user's experience with a particular company, with the intent of influencing perceptions. It can be through touch, hearing, and even smell. Tangible things such as products can also influence a brand or company. A good website can't make up for a bad product. UX is a balance between logic and emotion. You need to have empathy so you can immerse yourself in the world of potential product users. Chapter 11 of this book went into specifics about site maps. It named a site map a simple way to display representative pages of a website. It also talked about task flows and the difference. I'm not sure what exactly the difference is until I do it myself. The chapter broke all of the components of a web page down. The most interesting to me were the mistakes. Even the smallest of details can misguide a user. The most important thing I learned from the other book was that you need to get rid of the question marks a user might have. I also worked on making my flow chart outside of class. I color coated everything and made a key so it is easier to understand.
