Goals:

  • rework my prototype to show my new wireframe layout and goals

  • build out the new homepage and refine search for my prototype

Issues covered/Response from advisor:

  • new direction with layout is well received
  • overcame some issues with jQuery Mobile and became a lot more comfortable with it’s widgets
  • learned to use a new prototyping tool called Sketch

  • build remaining pages out on my prototype, figure out the header button issue
