**Project Brief** We are Bachelor of Design Honours Degree students at York University/Sheridan College designing a dynamic and interactive website. The purpose of this webpage is to increase the web presence of the Visual Arts Department at York University. The main focus of this interactive piece is to allow current and prospective students to access information such as courses, student galleries and department events. We are conducting this user study in order completely understand our target users. In no way are we testing your personal ability but ways to improve on the design of our interface. Please note that we will be video recording your interactions with the website. You have the right to not participate, for whatever reason, and/or terminate the test at anytime, with no prejudice, or questions asked. Moreover, your identity will be confidential and anonymous, and you may contact the Department of Design at telephone number 416-736-2100 or email dgelb@yorku.ca for answers to questions regarding research and your rights as a participant. We strongly appreciate your honest opinion in order to get accurate feedback. **Individual Test Script & DECIDE** TJ: Focusing on the Information Architecture Amy: Finding the "Introductory Photography: Colour" Section in the Gallery

**Individual Analysis of Test Results** Rob TJ ** Amy **

**Group Conclusions of Objectives** Difficulty in going back to the Gallery Index from the Course Gallery will be fixed by putting a 'back' button in the page. ISSUE TWO It would also be great to see who will be teaching the course in the course descriptions of the Course Gallery. ** **ISSUE THREE** The flash applet had to be refreshed upon a single revolution. It must be put in loop, in case the user misses the link upon the first revolution. **ISSUE FOUR The choice of font for the events montage should be consistent with the entire design. ****ISSUE FIVE** The "Visual Arts York" logo should have more importance (larger) than the subheadings.
