In Design Thinking, the process Ideate is to come up with many ideas/solutions; Quantity and Diversity.
I am redesigning the Riseupnational.org website and my goal is to make it easier for users to find information with clean and simple modern design. I find the current website inconsistent with the design on each page and there is times where the information is a block-like text making it very wordy and no visuals to catch the users attention. I explain more of my analysis of the site on the Define- RiseUp/ New Media Project Page.
My Ideas for Improvement
Home Page from original Design:
I want to shorten the Navigation Bar to fit in one line. Fix display of the Logo so it isn’t just a block of white on the Nav Bar. Finding related images for the website instead of AI used images. Removing buttons that don’t function. Making it less blocky and rounding the edges of the blocks.
Looking through google images for free photos of the time period Bruce lived in. Later on this project, I was able to get access to the clients google drive, where more images were given to use for their project/website.
While keeping the colors the website already has, I wanted to include a lot of black and white images to give a “vintage” look, since its an historical website.
