# Usability Exercise

**1.)** Explore the project [*Digital Dante: Original Research & Ideas*](https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/) and consider: 

* Purpose: How clear the intention/purpose of the project is made
* Taxonomy: The effectiveness and clarity of labels and headers
* Navigation: How easy it is to move around the site and get to specific info/sections 
* Wayfinding: How well can you find your way back to information you previously saw
* Visual design: How the colors, fonts, visuals, layout, interface, etc. affects your ability to use the site, engage with the content, and make you feel
* Accessibility: Are there any potential accessibility issues

**2.)** Draw a rough diagram of the information architecture. (You can keep it simple and focus on the higher end of the hierarchy (e.g., the first three tiers).)
