LL&C website

Background

This project was geared towards giving a refresh to the Department of Language, Literature, and Communication at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

My responsibilities as a designer involved helping to structure content and create possible screens for design reviews.

What I learned

  • Larger sites and experiences benefit from structuring content before creating screens
  • Without scoping expectations, the design process takes longer to complete and can spin out of control
  • Models and storyboards help to show structured content for design reviews

Design Methods

  • Competitive reviews
  • Sketching
  • Interviews
  • Usability testing
  • Concept modeling
  • Storyboarding
