Project Info:

I served as the Design Manager for this student project. We were building a website for the Digital Media department at UVU. This site would be a showcase and content aggregator for the department faculty and students.

The site included many interactive components that were programmed using the Scriptaculo.us library. The banner image would change periodically with a fade from the old image to the new image. The top news section (the area showing Top 1, Top2, and Top 3) would show different items depending on the what was clicked. Clicking the “Top” items (temporary text, actual site uses meaningful categories) would present set of articles in the different categories. Clicking an article header would swap out the text for the new article’s summary. Similar interactions are found on other pages of the site.
