Website Project Update

You'll remember that the Arlis/ANZ website will be undergoing redevelopment during 2007/08.

Well, a few weeks ago Communication Design students in the Creative Industries Faculty at QUT started looking at the Arlis/ANZ website, as part of a real-world learning experience in one of their web design units.

The students work in teams, combining their individual skills to come up with web design solutions that match their client's brief - Arlis/ANZ's brief.

The briefing document the students are working from was drawn up by Arlis/ANZ Web Manager Kelly McKeon and the Arlis/ANZ Web Team (Luisa Rossitto and myself), and covers eveything from practical enhancements through to a wish list of web 2.0 functionality.

At the end of the semester, the teams will present their unique solutions for the redevelopment of the Arlis/ANZ website. These solutions might be whole-of-site designs and recommendations, or may focus on particular aspects, such as structure, graphics or content management solutuons.

The designs and recommendations we like, we implement!

So stay tuned in the coming months for an exciting 'show and tell' when the students present their designs!
