Project Description

The final project for our information design course allowed us redesign and develop any of our previous projects from the term. I decided to re-create the first website project we had, which was to create a fictional restaurant website. This project allowed me to demonstrate the skills I learned throughout the course.

Process

Organization and Planning

My goal with the development of this website was to apply all the skills that I learned throughout the course. Thus, I started from scratch and commenced with sketches and wireframes. This helped me to get a good understanding of how I want to approach the design aesthetic.

Exploring New Concepts

Not only did I want to apply what I learned throughout the term, but I also wanted to explore developing with frameworks. Therefore, I decided to create the website using the Bootstrap framework. Using the framework eased the develpment process greatly. The framework helped to create the website much more quickly and efficiently in a responsive style.

Reflection

Reflecting on the finalized website, I could see how much I learned throughout the term. There had been many major improvements from the first project to the final project. These included the overall design aesthetic, responsiveness, and overall efficiency. Overall, the redevelopment of the website resulted in a great success, and I learned a lot throughout the process.
