Reflection on our blog

In the beginning we were a little bit sceptic about the use of the blog, especially because we had to post three times a week. But it was a good motivation to document your findings. Normally at the end of a project you have to write almost everything. Now all the info (including motivations for decisions) is there and only small adjustments were needed. But if everything is already on the blog, why do we have to make a heading progress report on the blog as well? The blog already shows the entire process. The only difference is this last chapter. When all the groups started posting information the blog, it was interesting to see what all the groups were doing, what there inspiration was and whit what kind of concepts they created. But commenting on the two others blogs and receiving comments could have been better. One group we had to comment started blogging very late in the process, so we had nothing to comment on. And the other group made a new blog, so the first comments were gone. Posting three times a week on the blog is doable, but one or two times a week would be sufficient as well. It would have been nice if the staff had posted on the blog as well, for example the feedback of the first assignment. Using the blog for presentations is very useful. Normally it takes a lot of time to switch laptops or to put all the presentations on one PC.

Our self running presentation!

So here we are, at the end of our project. Everything said and done is all put together in one self running presentation of our process throughout our project.

Redesign

As a result of the user study we changed some details of the maps. The canals were mentioned a lot of time as being streets, so we made them less apparent, by changing the thickness and lightening the color. We also made the names along the canals blue to make it more clear those belong to the canals. To make the circle itself more striking we made it thicker.

Route P: Shopping route

Route K: Cultural Route

We also added "Oude kerk" between the Oude Delft and the Choorstraat. This did not resulted from the user study, but we did this to make the whole map more consistent.

With only two day until the final presentation we are working hard on our movie! The result will be posted after the presentation of next Tuesday.
