A reminder of the overall structure we’re going for.

The links dont go anywhere BTW. I copied the source direct from my wireframe.

ePortfolio homepage sketches

I shall be updating this page with lots of different sketches so if you’re commenting, please refer to the sketch number!

#001 – Here’s everything

A dashboard that gives prominence to the ‘add stuff’ function but allowing for browsing, searching and creating new stuff. Potentially too many options to decipher but once our viewer gets familiar with the interface s/he can can quickly get to the task s/he wants to undertake.

#002 – A bunch of options

This is the actually first homepage sketch I came up with. It enables our viewers to quickly get to a variety of different actions without putting a particular emphasis on any of them.

I might have a specific task in mind when I arrive at this page and at least one of the lables might have some scent to get me to the thing I want to do.

On the other hand, I might just be browsing around and some of these lables might grab my attention and prompt me into some action.

The one thing missing here could be a lack of context. Seems like I can do do lots of things but I might not be able to directly relate these things to a specific course or programme of study I might be involved with. But that’s where the Quick Guide link comes in.

I even have a HTML prototype of this version!

#003 – It’s all about the adding

Here we can add things and see see what we recently uploaded. The browse and search options are all moved to the margins. Quite bloggy in the chronological ordering of stuff which might not be entirely appropriate for this project.

See a HTML prototype of this method.

#004 – Get creative

This a task-based view. Our intrepid viewer is given a bunch of tasks – things to create. You’ll remember something similar from Microsoft Word. The viewer can also see what they recently created and go back and make changes to those things. If they don’t want to create something they can look to the right-hand column where they will find the usual search, browse and upload options.
