Week 3- Outside of Class

Outside of Class my group split up the work, we both worked on the personas and the flowcharts/site maps. In the articles we read it talked about the difference between flow charts and site maps and how in flowcharts you have a decision making process where site maps are more broad and give you several options we choosing we direction you want to follow in the map. In the images below are flowcharts expect for the first image where its a hybrid of both types.
