Gainesville Pet Rescue - Version 1 So this is a site I designed for my internship at 352Media. The prompt was to design a website for a nonprofit organization within a range of genres. I chose pet rescue as my imaginary client and got to work. This site, if selected, will be sliced down and coded and then given away for free to local non-profit sites as part of a community outreach that 352Media does, which can be found at designyour.org. Very cool stuff.
Allied MMA / Main Page - Version 2 Not a lot of revisions here, just some usability fixes. All links and live content are the same orange hue to communicate that they are interactive content.
Allied MMA - This is the revision for the Allied MMA site I designed. This is actually the members section before a user registers for the service. That’s why I included the register button as well as the background advertising and a standard advertisement area. Also, since the member registration is the main call to action, I lightened the background just behind it to send the eye in that direction after landing on the logo. Strategerie.

So this is the first project I was given at my internship with 352 Media Group. Here’s the prompt I received from my Track Director. _____ First Assignment So what are we designing? Let’s start off our first project by designing a website from an offline inspiration. Meaning, anything offline that inspires you….a texture, a magazine cover, a book, a rock. Use something about that thing in your design. Examples from last semester: · A grammar book that a journalism major liked. She created a website called gossip grammar. Some elements from the book cover were used in the design. · Another student was inspired by a band and decided to design a website about them. She used colors that were representative of the band, photography that was provided by the band…etc. · The door is open for creativity. Include photos from http://sxc.hu or istockphoto.com or even take your own. Think about features that would be included in your site based off of features that are provided from the http://demo.352media.com site we looked at earlier. Will there be a rotating slideshow area? What content should go in there? How will that content help your subject? What is the user supposed to do with that area? What do you even want the viewer to do when they land on the page? What other features do you want to include? Ecommerce? Do they need a shopping cart? News & press? Events? You name it, you pick it. Keep in mind that we’ll want to critique these on Friday. So don’t get too far over your head with features. I’d like to see a homepage design, and a simple page design. ________ I went with an MMA social networking site based around finding training partners. I present for critique tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed =o)

A Veteran’s Hope - Version 1 This is another charity website template I designed for 352Media for their designyour.org website. My main critique on my last site, the pet rescue, was that it was simply too dense with features for a free website. The pet rescue website was not something they would want to give away for free in other words. So with this site I decided to go lighter on the content side and focus more on arrangement. I used some fairly subtle techniques to divide my subsections within the content section as well as the right column. I have some great revision ideas so version 1.1 will be a step up
