Readings for the last class before break!

Fast summary of what we've read: A guy wants to make a top 10 list of questions to ask a client for a web-design project. A few people go "well..." and eventually someone comes up with a fairly solid list that, importantly, takes into account the idea that these questions are being asked of a human who is capable of fault. The next article is also about how to talk to clients. It provides some good examples of the types of information to look for. Lastly, lesson 3 in the DreamWeaver Digital Classroom starts talking about styles, covers how to make a hyperlink, and tells you how to place and resize an image in your layout.

The single biggest thing I took out of all of this was the idea of having user and business goals when starting to plan a design. While it seems like something that I should have thought of on my own, it also hits me as something that I hadn't given full consideration to. The ideas of user goals and business goals can be so different, that we have to think about them separately and as necessities.
