Kara Martinez's Final Picture Book


Attached is a link to my final picture book. For some reason when I converted them to .jpg to post on the blog, it made the border white, and changed the color of the purple background. So, I just decided to provide a link as opposed to taking screenshots of all the pages. Thank you Rob for your recommendations. I incorporated them all! I also worked alongside my supervisor as she is looking for another GA to fill my position and felt this would be extremely beneficial for the new GA.

Christy's Website Draft

For this final project, I decided to continue with the theme I've been using throughout the semester--the Educational Leadership Program. The program director confirmed that he would appreciate a website that could provide more information than is typically offered on the JMU page. For the UI project, I designed an updated layout to provide the basic program information on the JMU site, in hopes that the editor of the COE websitecan incorporate these changes into the existing pages. I am creating a whole new site, using Wix, for this project. I plan to add a QR code to the poster, brochure, and UI layout that directs viewers to this more customized source of information, program news, and related documents.
Keep in mind that this is a very rough draft. I have used placeholder text for many components. My main concern is that I am creating all the images, but I want to ensure that the final product looks professional. I decided to create my images so that I keep a consistent set of images to match the graphic style of the logo, which is a central element to the site. I also don't have the opportunity to take actual photos, because the spring term has already ended for these students (that's cool, huh?).

I've never used Wix before, and although I like it a lot, I am still trying to figure out how to change my web address. I don't want my gmail account (username for Wix) to be at the beginning! Anyone have any ideas?
