Field Guide

Open publication - Free publishing - More design

My field guide showed a list of skate spots in Austin, presented as through it were an iPhone app. Challenges regarding this project included working on such a small scale and designing for a touch screen. I found it difficult to display the click stream only using pdfs.

concept map

For me, the hardest part about this project was handling the jargon associated with the financial crisis, so that anyone could easily understand the concept without overcrowding the poster. I separated terms into categories: 5 biggest terms, secondary terms, key players, negative/loaded terms, and tertiary terms.

website

The assignment for the we were given the option of either redesigning an existing website or create a portfolio website for our work using html and css. We were given a color palette and type choices to apply to our design and also told you keep user interaction in mind. We were taken through the entire process of designing a website beginning with research then sitemaps, wireframes, visual design, and finally coding to create four functioning pages of a website. The difficulties of this project were mostly in the actual coding like the positioning and alignment of all the elements. As a result of this project, I became more proficient in using dreamweaver, html, and css.
