Redesign for the Artwalk-Corpus Christi website artwalkcc.com
Due Wednesday, October 16 (Week 7)
Solving any problem is more important than being right.
— Milton Glaser
Objective
Collaborate with your team members to redesign the current user interface (look) of the Artwalk-Corpus Christi website. Your solution should be complete and professionally presented. This will not be a functional site, but a study of design, layout, structure, and organization in a web environment.
Teams
You will be assigned to a team at the start of Week 2.
Team Dynamics
The dynamics will take shape with how the individuals in of the group interact and communicate. To help this process along, however, I will be providing guidelines that must be followed. How a team decides to handle these requirements is completely up to its members.
Guidelines
1. While the team should determine the aesthetic of the design as a whole, each student will be responsible for finishing the design of at least three pages of the final website.
2. Each team member will have an opportunity to grade the other.
3. If a single member feels that the team dynamics are not working, you must contact me and I will set up a meeting of all the members of the group and act as a mediator to discuss the issues you are having. At the end of our discussion, I will offer some suggestions to alleviate the issue. If the issue continues to exist I will address and take note of the issue with each individual from the group.
Part I (due September 16)
Pick a name for your team, write a proposal, make a presentation
Conduct any research you deem necessary including visiting and using the current site. Note any visual or user related items that you see as faults and could be improved with a new design. Summarize your findings and state your goals for a successful redesign in a project proposal. Your proposal should follow the outline below and be no shorter than two full pages in length not including the title page:
Create and administer a survey to gather information from your peers and others outside the Corpus Christi community (friends, family, co-workers, etc) as to what the like and dislike about the current design and what they would want to see improved. http://www.surveymonkey.com/
Part III (due September 23)
Develop two (2) visually unique digital concepts for presentation and critique from class. Each of these concepts should consider how the website is developed beyond the first page.
Part IV (due Wednesday, October 16 Week 7)
From your digital concepts and our discussions your team will complete the redesign of the Artwalk website—at least 12 pages depending on team size.
