BACKGROUND
Whilst working at Swinburne University, Faculty of Design I was asked to construct and design a new website for the National Institute of Design Research, NIDR. In this case, the content and the design was delivered by myself.
I combined content knowledge with design communication fundamentals. A programmer worked with me to deliver the site.
SOLUTION
The dual purpose of the site as resource and marketing tool was a primary objective. The site is also featured at Swinburne promotional events including student open days. The site is used by academics, sessional lecturers, students, design professionals and students.
Prospective international students have used the site that features student work as well as a guide to the programs available. The site is also used in classes as a resource. At present a new staff member has been hired to maintain the site given the popularity of the site.
