My brother Roy: Why do you have cucumber in your ice?

Me: Why does the sun go round the earth?

My brother Roy: To keep us warm.

Week 2 Wrap-up

This week we learned a bit about Omnigraffle and Sketch, as well as about open and closed card sorting... boy did we learn about card sorting.  It was actually pretty fun, but a lot more time-consuming than you’d think.

All this is leading into Project 2: Create an e-commerce website for a given brand.  I got New York Costumes, which I had never heard of before, nor had I been to the actual store.  Their site actually doesn’t even have any way to purchase items online; the link to shop online takes you to another website and company altogether!  As well, the items we got for card sorting were ...interesting to say the least!

Pictures and more after the bump.

The beginning of an open card sort!  The pet costumes make me laugh every time.

Visiting the physical store to get a feel for the place.  There were many feels.  Mainly spoOooky.

Makes total sense!

Closed card sorting has started.  Where will the dice fall?  I mean... the items be placed..

Learning it all.

Will try to update about layout theory next week.  This week was absolutely packed with information.  If there is a way for the brain to actually dump out memory to fit in the new info you would probably see the concept of sleep and relaxing being tossed out from my ears.  Fun stays, though.
