Next Step

I wanted to go ahead and get this posted so that I can get some feedback from it. I know that people said to stay away from the icon but I really wanted to use it in some fashion especially being from NY (the apple). So I read Ted's remarks over and over and thought to myself, how do I go on from here? Do I start over, did I do anything right? So this is what I have come up with. I looked into the apple logo/slogan some more. The slogan that went along with the original logo was "Byte into Apple." We all know that bytes are a form of measurement for the computer world. Sooo.... I semi kept the icon. I am starting with the whole apple (with no bite in it) and will include the graphics that were on my last diagram for each step. However the steps are now represented by bites (bytes) that are different sizes. As bites are continuously taken each step is performed and less apple remains. Eventually, over time, the computer "apple" logo turns into the "i" that currently represents all of the Apple products they have on today's market. I know the individual graphics aren't on here but I wanted to get some feedback from you all.

Exercise 1 - Map


Here is the map with the color applied to it.

The apple has been divided in half to symbolize that there are two parties involved. The Consumer and the Producer. The consumer is represented on the left hand side and the producer on the right. The colors also reflect the consumer and producer. The color on the left side is depicted stronger because the consumer is the main focus of the entire process. Without the consumer the producer would not be involved, therefore the color overlaid on their process is less.

There are three points in which the “wand” changes hands. The first is the process after the consumer confirms the order which is depicted by the purchasing process logo which travels from the consumer to the producer side. The second is the point when the order is sent into the delivery system from the producer to the consumer and is depicted by the plan traveling from the right side to the left. The last point is when the consumer signs for the package and the producer is notified of the confirmation which is represented by the scanner shown in the middle of the apple.

I appreciate everyone’s comments and I will be working on this further this week. Please feel free to comment if you have not done so thus far.
