WORKSHOP

Despite the temptation to dive into designing screens for a new web site, good designers know that a more deliberate, considered approach leads to better design. The more complex the system, the truer this is. Designers working on elaborate business applications have to deal with dozens of features, scenarios and business rules. A little planning goes a long way. Two diagrams essential to the planning process are flow charts and concept models. Flow charts help designers envision processes and tasks while concept models illustrate a site's underlying structure. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create their own diagrams and use them in the planning process.
