CU Denver College of Arts & Media Showcase Web and Mobile Design
CAM Online Showcase, a way for students and alumni from the Digital Design Program to express themselves.
Year :
2025
Industry :
Education
Client :
College of Arts & Media
Project Duration :
16 weeks
Project Brief:
The Digital Design Program for CU Denver's College of Arts & media is seeking a centralized online showcase for current students and alumni. The demand for current students and alumni is high for a way to express their creative work. Students, alumni, and faculty need a centralized, professional digital showcase for their work because it is critical for gaining public visibility, connecting with industry professionals, and attracting prospective students to the program.
Problem:
The digital design program and the broader College of Arts and Media currently lack a centralized, cohesive digital presence to showcase the exceptional work of their students and alumni. This limits the program's ability to gain public visibility, attract prospective students, and connect students and alumni with industry professionals. Despite the wealth of talent within the program, this lack of public visibility means missed opportunities to promote student work, foster alumni connections, and enhance the college’s reputation in a competitive arts and design landscape.
Proposal:
Following user research, assumptions, and testing, our prototype for an online showcase will feature a cohesive and minimal interface that allows recognition for students, alumni, and faculty by implementing a "current works" tab on the homepage with filter options ranging from most recent, popularity, and by department. A student portal allows for each user's unique identity, catering their profile and displayed works to their desire. Connecting with each individual allows for a curated online community and recognition through users inside and outside of the platform. Lastly, a quick access tab bar throughout the page makes sure no single project lost, allowing for a quick and user-friendly navigation.
Summary:
The Digital Design Program at CU Denver’s College of Arts & Media identified the need for a centralized online showcase to highlight the creative work of its students, alumni, and faculty. Without a cohesive digital presence, the program faces challenges in gaining public visibility, fostering alumni connections, and attracting prospective students, despite the wealth of talent within the community. To address this, a prototype was developed for an online platform with a minimal, professional interface that emphasizes accessibility and recognition. Key features include a “current works” tab with filters for discovery, personalized student portals for showcasing unique creative identities, and a streamlined navigation system to ensure projects are easily accessible. This online showcase not only provides visibility and networking opportunities but also strengthens the program’s reputation and sense of community in the competitive arts and design landscape.
