In this course students will develop a design for a digital outcome (website). The purpose and end users will be defined for the digital outcome (website). Research, user feedback and relevant implications will be used to improve the design and ensure the digital outcome is fit for purpose.
Use the research design concepts template for the first task, make a copy and then edit it. When you are ready for feedback, you will need to share the link with me.
Note: you will need to provide the link to your work every time you submit a checkpoint. Please make sure that you have given me editing rights to your document so that I can make suggestions on your work.
Designs can be in any format from hand drawn to developed digitally. Here are options to create digital designs:
website themes and trends
typography, fonts and hierarchy
colour, colour theory, hues, saturation, tones
layout and composition, arrangement, proximity whitespace, alignment, contrast, repetition
imagery, effective use, image usage rights, vector vs raster, cosmetics.

social, cultural, legal, ethical, intellectual property, privacy, accessibility, usability, functionality, aesthetics, end-user considerations, health and safety.
This relevant implications guideline will help you understand the different implications
