Today in multimedia we did a mock assignment of an assignment we will be doing next week. The mock we did was preparation work which needed to be completed and handed up today.
We had to choose and evaluate an email application, I chose Hotmail.com.
We had to evaluate the email website under the Ten Usability Heuristics, which are:
1. Visibility of system status
2. Match between system and the real world
3. user control and freedom
4. Consistency and standards
5. Error prevention
6. Recognition rather than recall
7. Flexibility and efficiency of use
8. Aesthetic and minimalist design
9. Help users recognize, diagnose and recover from errors
10. Help and documentation
When I completed my mock assignment I saved it, printed it and handed it up.

Multimedia class 10-11-2011
Today in class we completed a worksheet in which we evaluated the good and bad points of 10 diferent websites.
We then designed a newspaper advertisement for a hotel.
Our earlier work on evaluating the design of websites aided in our advertisement design by allowing us to see design faults.
We spent around 2-3 hours evaluating the websites and then the rest of the day working on our newspaper advertisement.
The work I did today will stand to me in future as it allowed me to practice different combinations of graphics and text.
