...Enjoyable and Knowledgeable Class During our CIS course, we learned about the systems development life cycle (SDLC) and covered decisions and activities during some of the phases. SDLC has five phases; analysis, which is the phase to understand and document the current “as-is” state; requirements, which is a phase to define future “to be” state and end user requirements; design, which build technical blueprints of how the proposed system will work; development, which is the phase to transform the design into an actual system; and implementation, which rolls out and tests the new system. However, we only experienced three of the phases during our class, which are the analysis, requirements, and design phases. First of all, we formed our own groups and created an idea of our own app ideas that we wanted to design. Therefore, my group decided to create a recipe app for different kinds of delicious desserts named Dessert Search. During the phase of analysis, we drew out the “as is” process that users will search for a dessert recipe without our app. The process for users seemed to be more complicated and users needed to go through multiple websites to find the recipes that they desire. We also did SWOT analysis for our app, in which we determined our internal and external weakness and strengths for our app. Next, we drew the “to be” process, specified our target market, and created persona for our app during the requirement phase. The “to be” process showed the way the process...

...Abstract The intended purpose of week five’s assignment is for me to evaluate our chosen virtual organization. The virtual organization that was appointed to learning team A was Kudler’s Fine Foods. Within, this paper I will evaluate the selected virtual organization website, and discuss the intended audience for this site as well. I will then go over the design criteria that I created in week two and provide a description of why I selected and considered the ratings for each category to be of importance. Next, I will explain the results of the comparative review I performed on the three similar sites, and provide an appendix of the completed evaluation. A detailed analysis of the assigned virtual organization website will also be explored inside this paper along with a description of the changes I made in my prototype/mockup accompanied by a screenshot image. Lastly, an explanation of how I would use metadata or other promotional tools to promote the redesigned website, followed by a closing explanation of how the website changes will help the virtual organization to become more successful in the future. In today’s society an online presence is the most effective way to reach the masses. Therefore, the way a website is designed is crucial to the success of the company. Websites want to provide a great first impression when prospects want to get to know more about the business, its mission, or the company’s vision. A website must capture ones attention, and be visually appealing...

...BASIC COMPOSITION.COM VISUAL DESIGN THEORY CARP (or CRAP) PRINCIPLES Robin Williams, a visual design guru, suggests that there are four Basic Design Principles: CONTRAST, ALIGNMENT, REPETITION, and PROXIMITY CONTRAST Contrast helps us to differentiate items on a page. Use contrast to show differences between a multitude of visual elements (type, color, size, shapes, etc). Contrast helps the reader to locate items more effectively. Additionally, contrast helps the reader to see differences between visual units. The biggest items often receive the most attention. The smallest items usually receive less attention. Consider this idea when you consider contrast. EX: LARGE Small ALIGNMENT Alignment is where you place things on the page in relation to other things. Everything should be placed strategically on the page (keeping in mind the direction of the reading). For instance, in the United States mainstream culture, readers read predominately English, which requires items be assessed from left to right and top to bottom. Our attention focuses on a diagonal line which runs from the top left to the bottom right. Things in this line tend to receive more attention from readers/viewers. Considering this idea can help a person understand how some items on the page may be viewed first or last. Most Arabic cultures read things from right to left, so you may need to change your design orientation. Likewise, many Asian languages do not read from side to side, they may read top...

...P A R T I Discovering Momentum 1 1 The Power of Momentum Where’s the Impetus? Momentum. Most businesses get it at some point: the impression that everything they undertake succeeds effortlessly, as if they’re being carried along by a tailwind that increases their efficiency and propels them on to exceptional growth.1 Some hold on to it. Most don’t. Slowly, imperceptibly, the tailwind turns around and the momentum disappears, without anyone quite realizing what has happened. The company is still growing, but not as strongly as before, not as efficiently. Everyone’s maxing out, but it seems like there’s molasses in the works. Sound familiar? Sooner or later, it hits you in the face. Imagine you are meeting up with a senior analyst whose opinion counts with some of your company’s biggest investors. You think you’re on safe ground—after all, your company is doing better than the competition. But the analyst is in full gimlet-eyed, illusion-killing mode. “That’s nothing to crow about,” she says. “Yeah, you’ve got reasonable growth, but it’s nothing exceptional. You’re a safe bet, nothing more. Okay, I might tell my mom to buy, but 3 The Momentum Effect then she’s happy with inflation plus one. The way we see it, you’re really grinding it out. We reckon the strain’s getting harder, too. There’s no impetus—no momentum.” Words like that can really take the gloss off a day. The next time you gather your team, you don’t congratulate them on beating their targets—you...
