ID/UX analysis of the new Portal part 1

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

-the search still doesn’t work:
it only searches mica.edu and not the portal itself

-the mica logo doesn’t take you to the portal home it takes you mica.edu

-it’s very easy to break the site. Just like before if you go deep enough into the site the top menu disappears.

-it has 3 different forms of navigation! that’s just bad, and their different depending on where you are in the site

-it’s even more difficult to find anything, and since the search doesn’t work, good luck.

Over all it’s worse then it was before, is barely, if usable at all and clearly seams like no one with any knowledge of good interface design was involved at all.  I know this is not the case but it’s just sad.

We’re expanding!

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Well I mean I’m expanding, this blog to show more of my work in other classes, and fun as well as thesis, so I can share easier.  Comming soon images and a sound sample of my color coder, my first new circuit bent instrument in almost a year, and updates to the screaming rainbow (it now has labels on it’s buttons that make sense)

Hello World

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Hey Everyone reading this, friends, family, loved ones, and even people I havn’t met.

I’m taking a break from school right now cause stress really got to me, and I couldn’t continue the unhealthy lifestyle I had put myself into.

I made some bad choices, and let others effect me far more negatively then I thought. This is not one of those blogs where I point out this person or that person, this blog entry is for me.  To let anyone reading know, yes I’m alive and doing much better, and yes I’m ok.  My art related stuff will follow once I’ve relaxed a little more.   ta ta for now

Canadan, out!
