Project 3: Design your ideal Job
In collaboration with other students (Julien, Gracelynn, and Sophie) I will design a mock website for our ideal company focused on collaborative creative work between a small team of designers. The process of creating this website mirrors the theoretical workflow of this company with tasks being delegated to different team members in a fair and collaborative way with individuals taking the lead and making final creative decisions within their area of expertise. The website itself also illustrates some of this theoretical company’s ideals and goals. One of these ideals is the idea that each member of the team is also an individual creative designer and so their works are shared and given time as well. One of the main ideas we proposed for this company is that, similar to Valve’s model, individuals can lead their own projects and so the concept of who is “in charge” or “the boss” is fluid and shifts depending on which project the company is focused on at a particular time.
My role in this project is primarily in coding/interface design which is very interesting to me and fits well with the UI/UX design jobs I was examining in preparation for this project. Other team members designed graphics, wrote out sections, worked with overall layout/color scheme, and also assisted with coding. Overall the workflow is very collaborative with everyone suggesting ideas and contributing.
