Web Improvement

For the web improvement project, I decided to revamp my storyboard project from web 2. This was a project wherein I initially had to make a small site wherein it was meant to display a storyboard of a short story. I decided to revamp it due to it looking pretty bland for the rest of the effort I put in, having added my process in making the project on that site, requiring further js than was required.


Comments

  • Too bland
  • Storyboard not responsive
  • Background disappears when swapping between tabs
  • Items too close together

Changes

  • Added space between elements
  • Fixed the background disappearing when swapping between tabs
  • Fixed content in tabs being oversized on smaller screens
  • Smooth scroll when clicking in the nav
  • Added background so it's less bland
  • Removed background from the top nav to create a cleaner look

Print Improvement - Poster

For the print improvement, I decided to revamp my poster meant for the McCord Museum poster contest which was a project from the 5th semester as, looking back, there were many things I saw I did wrong such as the date of the project while also really having liked originally making that project. The goal of it was to design a poster to be submitted to the McCord Museum's poster contest under the theme "Pour un Monde Sans Armes", a theme around weaponry.


Comments

  • Wrong Year
  • "Weirdly Open" for something meant to be threatening
  • Bottom part looks weird, "too much"
  • "Why is the water shooting behind the 's'"
  • Should highlight the illustration more to make it easier to understand

Changes

  • Corrected mistakes. (e.g. the year)
  • Added a border to create a more boxed and stressful feeling
  • Changed the bottom part on how all the information is shown
  • Highlighted the illustration to push it forward and improve visibility.
