Midterm Presentations

Spring 1995

We'd like to have another round of project presentations on Thursday, May 18th, this time a little more formal. In the presentations, we'd like to hear about any/all of the following:

Design Directions

You can't do a project like this without having some vision of what it is going to look like and how it is going to work (even though this will certainly change). Show us the vision(s). We'd like to see sketches/drawings/descriptions of the current design.

Metaphors

What metaphors are you using (purposely or not)? Think about the consistency/coherence issues we discussed in class.

Users

Tell us about any user studies you've done or intend to do. Who are your intended users? How is your project going to change the way they work/play/etc?

Anything else you think is appropriate.

I know this all sounds like a lot, but look at it as an opportunity to force yourself to make some headway on the project. Meet often with your group -- it is important that you all have a good idea of where you're headed. After this presentation, you'll have only around 3 weeks before it's due...
