THE CHALLENGE
The user experience of the website is poor from the point of view of a creative who wanted to be profiled on the website, as well as from the perspective of a person wanting to find creative services. The categorisation of the creative fields is very broad and makes it difficult to navigate.
MY ROLE
This brief, we worked in a team of six to create designs for a company called MTNS MADE. Breaking off into a sub-group with Geoffrey and Zofia, we worked on re-designing the website, which is one of the deliverables for the client. The client wanted the website to have a more earthy look and feel to match the vibes of the blue mountains in which they are currently situated.
To make it easier, we formulated a style guide for the team to follow and then allocated specific pages that we would re-design. My allocated pages were the about, contacts, login, and jobs pages. For the homepage, all 3 team members worked on it together, as the client favoured one homepage but liked elements from the other homepages.

SECOND DELIVERABLE
MTNS MADE requested a map that would be placed in information centres, helping tourists navigate through the blue mountains. I worked alongside Dinusha and Christian to bring this map to life. Dinusha worked on the theoretical component, gathering the blue mountain locations and pin-pointing the locations on the map, which I created in Illustrator. Additionally, I illustrated icons for the map to help differentiate the sections in the blue mountains.
