RIT Nature Trails

Jenna Hebeler, Eve Qiao, Adriana Fux & Emilie Fang:

We would like to promote RIT’s Nature Trails by informing students of their proper use, the surrounding nature and possible routes of the nature trail, through clean and sophisticated design that incorporates a natural atmosphere.

PROJECT BRIEF

Web & Society: Considering Context

Web & UX Design | Junior level | RIT

Building on your basic RWD and UX research skills and working with a team, together you will research, design and build a context-specific mobile-first interactive experience that enhances or augments one’s sense of place. You will propose a theme (and content) for your experience based on a community location that you research and document. Your team’s design approach can incorporate time-based information, propose alternative uses or business models, or wildly re-imagine the existing location through the lens of a mobile/responsive experience.

The design team says:

As part of this project we had to choose two post-its with random words written by students from class on them. We than had to incorporate these two words in our project whether it be through concept, ideation or actually incorporated in our design.

Our words:

Vegemite: We want our site to have the colors of nature that brings a relaxing, but also energized feeling to the users. Our interface will have smooth transitions to bring a sense of satisfaction when using our website and App.

Luxurious: We want our site to be luxurious through the design and user experience. The experience must be comfortable and enjoyable for all users in order for the user experience to be luxurious. The Design must be elegant through the use of clean sharp design.
