Evalution of module

Designing for the User has enabled me to grasp a more adequate and tangible approach to design, understanding different users’ needs and how each individual matters when creating a site. The feedback I had received from a JAWS user helped me understand this more as it was a first-hand discussion on how hard it is for impaired users to enjoy the same things that non impaired users may take for granted. The module has enabled me to learn new skills, in using different software, thinking critically about my decisions, and putting a personal approach into my writing style, which I feel is imperative as a journalist, to be unique or have a particular writing style, so that as a whole, your work is comparable with other writing created. The module has also made me be more aware and critical of bad web designs, and understand why they are not as affective in their design. The module as a whole covered a lot of various aspects that cover not just this area, but can also be applied to other too. This way of critical thinking is something that will continue to develop, and expand throughout looking at other aspects of journalism.
