Each student will be required to do a short prototype and card sorting exercise. Each student should choose a screen interface that they think is poorly designed (a web site or a software application) and create a card sort of that web site or application and report the results. The student should create a new screen prototype for what they think it should look like, using any type of digital diagramming tool or approach.
Choose any single screen interface that you think needs improvement.
·What interface did you choose? Why do you think that it’s poorly designed (write a few sentences)? You MUST include a screen shot of the current version.

Based on the content (menu choices or other options) on the existing screen, create a card sorting exercise. Make sure to use a different color font so that the text is readable.
·Describe how you performed the card sorting exercise.
·Who would be a typical user of this website – describe the population characteristics? Please make sure that the graphic quality is such that I can read the words.
·What did you learn from the card sorting?
Given your thoughts on why the screen interface was bad based on the data from the card sorting exercise.
·Please provide a prototype drawing (using any technical tool), for how you would improve the interface. YouMUSTuse arrows to call out the specific features that are improvements, and write a paragraph describing the specific improvements.
