Information design – no clear hierarchy. Not clear what’s most important. Hard to see, understand, find information. Give handout with this and iPhone screens. Spend 10 minutes sketching solutions on how to present this info on an iPhone app. Show 2-3 solutions on docucam.

Quality of an object that allows an individual to perform an action. Communicate that possibility to perform the action.
United iPhone app. Critique: visual hierarchy & affordances. What are areas/chunks? How does the app indicate clickability? How do you know what’s most important? Divided into top for regular navigation and bottom for important, immediate actions.
