Workflow
• Identify topics based on what’s going on.• Make a plan!– Outline important topics – What can you say about those?– Visuals! – How long will it take to produce?– Can it be done?– Is it too timely? Backup plan (Flood example!)
@ctrappe#wcdenver13
Example
• Identify topic• Identify content! Map out homepage • Collect content (Visuals are important!!!)• Buzzword alert: Call to action?• “Design” homepage (Basically build a new
page)
@ctrappe#wcdenver13
One more thing: Visuals
• Design yourself (More difficult: Adobe Edge)• Ask somebody to help! (Map by researcher
example)• Take pictures – use them (Front door example)• Creative commons images• Ask others for images
