6 - Jon Burris

For Project 3, my group redesigned the side panel where you can find subscriptions, "What to Watch", etc. A users mental model to our redesign, if they are signed in, is obvious. It allows the users to immediately go to a "Popular" on YouTube page. This is assumed that many daily YouTube users enjoy seeing new up and coming viral videos. The implementation model is our idea that this is the first thing we would do in the use of this design, before we do anything else on YouTube. A users mental model would most likely be to surf YouTube on your own terms before he or she checks out the "Popular" page. The contrast here is we had the design on our mind, while users don't and that is why they would assume their business as usual on YouTube.
