Desk Crit #3: Remi

Designer: Remi Ojo
Project: Fixed Rates and Floating Rates Tutorial
Project URL: http://rojo.myweb.uga.edu/fftutorial/documents/
Reviewer: Emily Pitts
Review date: 4/5/07

I had a chance to review and discuss Remi's project during the studio dress rehearsal. I thought she could really add more interest to her project by moving away from the gray monotones and adding color to spice things up. Just scanning through her program, I saw a wide variety of type treatments that would be much easier to digest if they were consistent (variations in size, spacing, etc.) We talked a little about how the buttons were labeled and how that might affect her user's choices in the program For instance, from quiz screens, the text indicated that the user "go back" to the next section of material. This could be better conveyed by saying "continue" -- indicating that the user is getting new info, not review. We also discussed basic identifying text, like subtitles for main subsections on every relevant page and adding page numbers, so the user will know where they are and how far they are in the program.
