IDSA.org redesign: a digital short by CMU IDSA from Julius Tarng on Vimeo.
I like to define design as "Design is the ability to see nothing is as it should be, coupled with the desire and aptitude to do something about it." In a complete personification of that spirit of optimistic rebellion, Carnegie Mellon University students held a collaborative design session to redesign the IDSA website. Julius Tarng, of the student chapter was one of the session's facilitators, "14 of us met in a room, threw the website up on the projector, and critiqued the design of the IDSA website. We then came up with a new navigation flow that we felt better organized the content, and drew up wireframes to explain our designs. Then, we created Photoshop mockups" .
The IDSA launched their current website in June of 2010. While many of us picked and prodded at it in the discussion forums, these students actually did something about it. Watch the video to get an overview, and click here to see higher resolution images of the mockups.
