Agency Work (Fusion Communications Group)
project
Design a website within the framework of the Manitoba Government website to allow students, parents, and educators to learn about the Remote Learning High School Programming and search for available courses.
As the lead designer on this project, I was an integral part of the team that developed the information architecture for the site. I created the branding for the website and designed desktop and mobile versions of each page. I worked directly with the developer to create the course search tool and make the site available in English and French. I also gave feedback to the developer during testing to ensure that the completed site matched the design and worked responsively.
design rationale
The main design considerations of this project were to create a vibrant and youthful feeling design while also finding a balance with the existing Manitoba Government. The choice to use illustrations rather than stock images created a brand that was friendly, quirky, and youthful while also clearly conveying information to users.
