flowwww chart

The process of making this flow chart seemed reasonably easy to understand. Symbols/shapes, colors, and arrows dominate my chart. My chart is about the process of buying a book online/ Amazon. Since I’ve done this before, I was very familiar with the process.

            First I started off with drawing a circle, which represented the beginning of the process titled “start”. I colored it green to symbolize go just like on a stoplight. If someone is looking at it, I feel like they would relate the color and the word start/go to the action of beginning. Then I drew arrows that would connect one action to another. The arrows represent a relationship between each box I drew that possessed the action needed to be done. These arrows I colored orange where they could stand out and be easily detected. I also made sure that there were questions to be asked with yes or no arrow connecting lines. All my questions had a feedback loop to an escape. These questions I put in blue diamond shapes to make them differ from the rest of the purple boxes. By using these simple symbols, it made my flow chart accessible and clear.

             Also, I decided to color the "add to cart" box yellow since many people can relate to the button on many sites which is colored yellow. So, in other words, I wanted the yellow to resemble what people usually see on websites when shopping for something. 

            At the end of my flow chart I ended with a red circle reading end. This again represents how people categorize the color red with end. Also the start and end words are both in circles with makes them different than any of the other information rectangles or question diamonds.

            Furthermore, the purpose of this flow chart was to deliver a process that anyone could understand and I feel I was able to accomplish this. By looking at the way the start and end circle finish the flow chart, it showed someone specifically how to buy a book on Amazon.
