BLOG POST 2 | FLOWCHART


For my flow chart I wanted to focus on an outcome that I face everyday on my stop to Bergen Bagels and their ordering process. However I wanted to see how things were handled from their aspect rather than from my POV so I watched as the team came together to assemble an order. Their seems to be 3 different choices in the morning which were coffee, bagel, or both. I kept this simple for the original storyboard, but would like to revise this with additional items such as what choices one has to put on the bagel. Whether or not they want cream and sugar for example. This will help make the ordering process more quick and efficient.

BLOG POST 1 | 5 Images and descriptions


This interaction was viewed at Bergen Bagels on Myrtle Ave. The people must work together in a factory line setting each completing a certain task in order to process the order quickly and efficiently. While one man pours the coffee and puts the ream and sugar in it, the next man begins getting the bagel ready, putting it in the oven and putting cream cheese on it. Finally he bags it and is brought to the cashier so that I can pay for it. I noticed that without multiple employees or this factory like system this process would take much longer.
This mans interaction is with the traffic sign and the bus. On a snowy cold day there is nothing worse than being stuck outside longer waiting for traffic to clear. The traffic sign has a red hand to show that he is not allowed to cross. The bus is preventing him from crossing the street.


I saw this interaction when I was going to the grocery store. The two men are interacting with each other and the elements outside after going to the grocery store.

This man is interacting with the gate outside of his store and is in the process of lifting the barricade. This was a tedious process for him as  he has to put the pole in a specific place in order to trigger the opening of the gate. After performing this he wiped of the windows and was ready for a days work.
This person is interacting with both his bike and with the traffic. He is riding his bike down myrtle avenue in a pursuit to get to his destination and is interacting with his bike and the weather in a race to get there. He is also interacting with traffic as he has chosen to ride his bike on the street. He must now keep with the pace of traffic to create a safe riding environment.
