Purpose of this talk
• Give you an insight into my work
• Provide me with a chance to reflect on the journey
Setting the scene
• Web Manager for CASS
About me
The brief
• To create a website identity for CASS and its Schools
• Photoshop comp of web page
Where to start?
Drawbacks?
• No guarantee that a website will look exactly the same for every user
• Makes a catalogue of assumptions about the placement and position of elements
An alternative starting point…
• Style tiles establish a direct connection with actual interface elements without defining layout
Style Tiles
• A more developed form of mood board
• Can compliment the traditional Photoshop comp route
• Listening, researching, ask questions
Style Tiles
The Process
• Break down and interpret feedback into themes and design principles
• Create a visual language
The advantages?
• Making changes out of context allows me to work faster
• Suit ‘responsive’ design as they don’t imply dimensions or device only that the design will be digital
Style tile to web page
• Photoshop layouts
• Designing in the browser
• Further refinement of the style tile to create user interface elements
