Week 2 Journal

Week 2 Journal 


This week was to prepare us for doing interviews. The main observation that stuck out to me was participant observation. It was all about collecting data and understanding that data.   The other videos made good points on how to ask good questions and how to do more studies.

Week 2 UX Captures

Car sites  for this week since I'm searching for a new vehicle
1. Volkswagon VW.com
The homepage was done very well, upon on opening the site you are greeted we a clear image that is not overdone. The menu bar on the left side works for the site by keeping the focus on the center site.  The flow works overall without being overbearing.  Even the most novice computer user should be able to use the website with no problem.

2.Audiusa.com Audi

Audi has a similar layout to VW, but instead of keeping things simple like Volkswagon they went overboard using a video ad on the main page. The menu bar is small and barely noticeable. I can not see the site being easily be used.







3.Bmw.com 
Well by the third website I started noticing a trend amongst all these sites had a similar look and field. The website may have all been designed by the same company. The BMW site was easy to follow and display information and a eye catching way. 


4. Lexus.com
Out of all the websites Lexus had to have the worst. The grid was none existent, and infromation was displayed in various fonts and was hard to read. The site needs some touching up I would suggest that they cut back.




5. Cadillac layout was clean and easy to read.   The grid was made with usability in mind the cars and their links have plenty of space between them and make finding information was on the eyes.
