Design Objectives:

"Design objectives are similar to business objectives. With business objectives, you normally create a bulleted list of things that you want the website to achieve. With design objectives, your list includes messages and emotions you want to communicate." Credit: Paul Boag

We rotated around the classroom and voted for 1 out of 5 websites for each student that would be best to redesign. 

And the votes are in! The winner is Pennsylvania Firefly Festival, with 8 votes.
