On your own, consider what the ideal bike-finding experience would be for the persona of your choice (not the one your group created), and write a new user-story to describe it. Since the site doesn't exist, what you are doing is exploring what the site could be — making decisions about directions that seem appropriate for this persona, and describing the experience in a way that will allow all of us to join your 'vision'.
Write your story into the appropriate google doc. Be sure to include your name.
Wish you had a posh pad this year, and didn't have to pay for it? Design a sweepstakes in which one lucky winner gets free rent for a year!
Based on the flowchart and discussions you have with your small group, create a process diagram (aka "Flowchart") to illustrate all possible user experiences within a simple promotional microsite. Use whatever tools you like, but post the final product either as an image on an HTML page, or as a link pointing to a web-viewable document. Arrange things so that they are legible and clearly organized.
Here are some things you know about this promotion:
The website you build will be designed for mobile only.
Write the copy that a visitor will see as they experience your site. Consider what the site hopes to accomplish, as well as what the user needs in order to accomplish it. Write the actual words that will appear on the page. Be detailed and structured. Consider titles and headlines, body copy, labels, captions, error messages, button and menu names, etc., and make sure the document you create clearly delineates those things. Think of this as a reference document that some OTHER designer would use to build out the content this site.
Create this document in HTML. Use h1-h6 tags, p tags, ol, ul, li tags as symantically appropriate to create clear hierarchy. Don't worry about style, the style that your browser applies to these elements by default is fine.
The website you build will be designed for mobile only.
Explore visual style options for the apartment promotion, and create a reference document that sets a clear visual direction. The exact form of that reference is up to you (mood board, style tile, sample page, etc.), but post it as an image embedded on an HTML page. As with the script, think of this as a document some other designer could use as a reference for your intentions. Build the reference you would want to receive.
The website you build will be designed for mobile only.
Design a complete set of pages for your site, and post them as images embedded on HTML pages. Link the pages together in sequence.
A few things to consider:
Based on your mockup, build the site with HTML, CSS, and Javascript as needed. Make every link/button work in a way that allows us to experience the site completely. You don't need to do anything to actually save the data submitted on forms, but find a way to simulate the form submit experience, including the display of validation messages (e.g. 'Sorry, please enter a wustl email address.'). Also, find a way to simulate the experience in all three phases: before the promotion is open, while it's open, at after it's over.
Working by yourself or with a partner (you decide), develop a proposal for a social-media style quiz that reveals which character/object/animal/etc. is the best match for the user, based on their answers to a few questions.
Your proposal should include:
If you choose to work as a team, also include:
Complete your project per your project proposal. The end product should be fully-functional, responsive (design works on any size screen), and creatively engaging.
