Task
Design and build a website.
The largest challenge I faced with this project was finding the balance between a highly accessible design with a good looking one. We needed a website that had a very calming feel to it that made you feel safe and inviting. However, it also had to have a more traditional layout and easy to read typography so that we could ensure anyone could use it with ease.
Due to the nature of this organization, we had to keep the main location a secret. However, we also needed to showcase the general feeling of the area. We needed pictures, but decided not to use any from the on-site location for maximum secrecy.
We decided to use stock photos that appear as if they could have been taken in the same region. Similar trees and flowers and an overall landscapes. This way we could create a similar setting without putting the survivors at risk.
At the end of the semester long project, we finalized a website that is both visually appealing and user friendly. We also reconstructed a higher resolution logo with better colors. The thing I enjoyed most was creating something that will help change lives for a cause that I greatly care about.
