Elon University Interactive Media Department Website
During spring of 2016, I worked in Elon University’s public relations department, updating the department website for the Interactive Media program.
Updating the site involved transferring content from an old in-house content management system to a newer one that better supported responsive pages. After familiarizing myself with both systems, I began moving content, wireframing new page layout designs along the way. After page designs were completed, I implemented them in the new CMS system by building templates using the shelves grid system.
Since I was building this site for a program in interactive media, I wanted to make the home page feel more alive, even compared to the rest of the university’s pages. To do this, I implemented a subtle, but effective parallax effect on the home page’s banner. This allowed the site to stand out while keeping in line with the greater organization’s design guidelines.
