My classes in Semester 3 included Web Development, UX Design, Digital Marketing, and Electronic Publishing. I gained skills in using JavaScript, Figma prototyping, and Adobe InDesign. Here are my proudest projects from this semester!
This website redesign prototype was done in Figma, teaching
me much about UX design fundamentals and Figma's advanced features. For this assignment, I
had to choose a poorly made website (check out the original here... it's
a piece of
work) and redesign it from the ground up, without changing,
adding, or removing any content from the original. It was an excellent exercise in taking
what a client gives you and making the best of it! For my prototype, I focused on improving
navigation, creating a consistent responsive design across viewports, and consolidating
information into cards.

This project was showcased at SaskPolytech's Designing Tomorrow Student Showcase,
where I got to display and explain my work to students, teachers and industry members! This
was an amazing opportunity that I am very grateful for! I believe this accomplishment speaks
to the strength of my work.
For this assignment, I had to create a fictional brand to make guidelines
for. This involved developing a logo, assets, and overall identity. The brand is
Portal, a computer accessories company. The brand identity speaks to innovation,
accessible, and premium peripherals that inspire confidence in the consumer. The brand
guidelines reflect this, outlining detailed instructions on how to use Portal's logo, colour
palettes, and graphics.

This assignment had me using provided text and images to create a 4-page
magazine layout. I created my layouts in Adobe InDesign, using character styles to
format text and Photoshop to resize images. Similarly to the Town of Rouleau website
redesign, I could not change or add any content, so this was a fantastic exercise in
creating an aesthetically pleasing design from client-provided content.
