...IT302-Unit5- Kaplan University Part 1: Design choice and wireframe. The range of purposes that kiosks serve is broad and varied. From providing information or services to the purchase of an extensive array of goods a kiosk can be and frequently is used to meet the desires and needs of the general public and consumers. In recent years there has been a substantial and steady increase in the frequency that we see or use some form of stand alone kiosk. The wireframe that I considered is more general in nature. This was done to provide flexibility in the design that can be easily used across a broad range of services with minimal modification. It also accommodates easy adjustment for use by disabled individuals. [pic] Part 2: Report of design principles. The final goal in designing a kiosk is to generate a product that will meet the needs of the business or organization that is using it to provide goods or services to its potential clientele. The purpose is to produce a product that is highly intuitive, and also provides clear and concise instructions on the proper use of the kiosk in general and specific features for those patrons that need assistance.

...to produce a site that is not only is visually appealing, but also has a clear purpose, is quick loading and easy to navigate, meaning the areas to click to get to the other pages within the website are easy to find. A well-designed website should persuade the visitor to want to spend more time visiting the site and return to it again in the future. Poorly designed websites have a tendency to “shock” the visitor by using unreadable combinations of color (like a blue background with red text), confusing layout, unclear or unusable navigation and unreadable fonts. These are some aspects that determine the design differences between a “successful” and an “unsuccessful” website, which is what I’m going to talk about. Web design and development is my major, and knowing these differences are some of the basics we are taught. So how is it decided that a website is good or bad? Everyone has their own opinion so it can sometimes be difficult to make this determination, but there are quite a few aspects that most professional web designers agree upon when designing a website for a client. The first aspect is purpose and clarity. Successful websites have a well-defined purpose, so focusing on this aspect is helpful in the design process. Some things to consider are: will the site be a source of information on a topic, endorsing a service, advertising a product, or to inform people about you? If the purpose is to make money, the website will require different features than an informational...
