Possible Structures

Alicia and I chose our favorites of the possible page structures. Like the stars?

Barbie McClure


Barbie is 23 years old. Her grandmother’s house was recently destroyed by a tornado. As a result of the damage, her grandmother’s collection of paper dolls were ruined. Barbie wants to buy a new set of paper dolls for her grandmother. She also has some photographs that survived the tornado that she wants to preserve and share.


Barbie will be interested in pursuing the Buying page as well as the Community page.

PATH ONE BARBIE MCCLURE:

home > buy > browse > category > figures > dolls > paper dolls


PATH TWO BARBIE MCCLURE:

home > community > photos > submit

Ed Walker


Ed is a 55 year old toy collector interested in condensing his collection of cowboy memrobilia. He is also looknig to expand contacts with other toy collectors, and he loves to tell stories. He has a slight aversion to the internet, but he knows it is a good communicative tool.


Ed will be interested in pursuing both the Selling page as well as the Community page.

PATH ONE ED WALKER:

PATH TWO ED WALKER:
