Is it possible to redesign a responsive website in 5 days? In @Ironhack yes!
The fifth week of UI | UX design Bootcamp is coming to an end... and I feel proud because my project @enricabiondiux has rocked it!
During this week we collaborated as a pair to redesign the responsive web of the Yale School of Art.
The challenge we faced during these five days was by no means easy. Even though we had to redesign the website of a prestigious university, the base from which we started was messy and chaotic.
From the beginning, @Erica, we organised ourselves by writing a schedule to follow during the week, which we checked every day and updated when necessary.
This helped us to finish the presentation a few hours before the show and to be able to rehearse it several times together, as we only had 6 minutes to present it.
During this week we also practiced tree testing and Benchmark, which helped us lay the groundwork and decide on the main points to discuss, improve and showcase.
The most fun part, though, was the style tyle, where we defined the colours to be used for our redesign, the typography and the words that defined what the Yale Art School site wanted to convey in our opinion.
But this week's project was not only to create something beautiful and functional that respected the Yale Art School website, but also to make this web site responsive.
So we reproduced the screens for smaller screen devices like mobile phones, adapting images, icons, text and spaces.
And 👂🏻hear 👂🏻hear: we also wrote some code in HTML and CSS.
It took us a few hours but the result was more than satisfactory. We learned how to write code, media query and even how to create shadows on buttons or make images smaller in proportion to the devices they are to be displayed on.
Each week at @ironhack is incredibly more fantastic and amazing than the last.
With each passing day I find that I can do things that I would never have imagined just a month and a half ago 🤩.
However, this week has not only been incredible because of what we have achieved (in such a short time, let me tell you), but especially because of how I have been able to collaborate with my fellow student.
Even though we come from different professional backgrounds and are very different as people, we quickly found a way to collaborate, support each other, compare ourself and not waste time, even if we didn't need to put in extra hours.
👉🏻I have always been an advocate of teamwork, and this week was further proof of that! 👈🏻
