• Find a shower or bathtub. It could be one in your apartment / house.
  
  
• Take a good photo or set of photos of the controls including the input and output and their relationship to each other - something like these. Note that the controls may be distributed in multiple locations. Note how to use the various controls either on the photos or next to them

Overall layout:

Closeups:

• Think about how the user interacts with the shower / bath. What is the sequence of actions to take a comfortable shower? What is the sequence of actions to take a comfortable bath?
  
• Think about the common things that you use a shower / bath for. What are the most common uses and other more rare uses. There is the obvious one of getting yourself clean, but maybe you also wash the dog there, or clean off plants.
• How does the shower / bath help the user figure out how to work it
• How does the system show the state of the system to the user
• How easy is it for a guest to use this?
  
  
• Create a public webpage including your photo(s) and your response to the above questions
• Discuss what is good and bad about the design, the mapping, the use of language or symbols, how accessible it is, etc.
• Organize your discussion into sections
  
• Think about some possible improvements, draw some sketches of your improved interface, and discuss those improvements
  
• This should be equivalent to at least four 8.5x11 typed pages of text with a 10 point font
• Email the location of this webpage to the TA (syin8@uic.edu) before 9pm on 1/18
  
  
• Bring a printout of your webpage (or a laptop or tablet where you can show your design to others - your phone is probably too small) to class on the 19th where we will have an in-class activity related to the homework
