Not having presented yet, I still feel as though I learned a lot from everyone’s presentations so far. Seeing other people show their examples of interesting web page navigation and use of media gave me a better idea of what kind of website I want to pick. A few examples presented made me want to find an organization that created a cool website for the benefit of others education about an important subject matter. I like the idea of this because it’s very hard to make an actual impact on a community or social cause through just a website, but it isn’t quite as difficult to spread information in an interactive way.
I would like to try to avoid some of the layouts that seemed to “busy”. There were a couple examples that were for sure engaging, but almost distractedly so. If my team decides to follow that kind of trend, I think we could execute it with out that sort of message interference. We’ve done a adequate job so far in thinking through what we want our project to look like, or at least what direction we’re headed towards. Last week we discussed the types of people and what experiences we want to capture in our project. So far we have at least three people as solid options and a few more as additional insight. I’m in the process of setting up an interview with a friend of mine that knows both personally and professionally, about the DACA experience so I’m excited for that. The main challenge I see as an hurdle to jump is putting the ideas into practice but again, I think we’re on track.
