Class Reflection 2.18.2013

Today was the second critique on our System Maps. We were able to look at them on the overhead projector, which allowed us to see more details while critiquing each map. After organizing our sketched out roughs into Illustrator, it really showed that details were extremely important in communicating what the System Map was about. Although most felt like mine was well organized, I still think there is room to add more details so that someone who had never seen my map before would know exactly what trying to describe.

Some things to consider for my map:

  • Including some sort of forum maybe where fans can talk with other fans about their experience
  • A way out of the map - Once the user gets what they need from the application, they may not use it for the rest of the experience at the ballpark
  • Social media aspect should not be the end result - It can be integrated somehow within the map in the loop sequence and be used throughout the experience
  • Consider a different way to organize the list of five categories 

Monday, February 25th - Midterm Review
