Mimesis Website Brief

Partner: Samantha Baccala


The Core Creative Concept: Simple and clean design that showcases the students work and makes it accessible to the online community. It will have navigation that will lead to each topic that the students are responsible for. There will also be a side navigation that breaks down the topics further. The students will be able to edit their own work as well as upload images and videos to support it.  

The Overall Look & Feel: The website will have a classical and older feel. The design will highlight the students’ work and relate to the content of the class. The color scheme will be filled with light colors such as tans greens and grays. 

Purpose & Objectives:  The purpose of this website is to give the students a place to collaboratively place and display their work.

Information Architecture: We will be using a template through drupal that gives us the opportunity to drastically edit it and to allow for the Professor and students to easily access and change their work. The website will include the typical header and footer. There will be two forms of navigation, primary and secondary. The right hand side bar will contain media placed by the students that relate to their work.

Audience: The primary audience for this site is Professor Noell and his students. In the future the goal is to have it become a source of information for the public and possibly be supported by the Quinnipiac University Library.

Design Visuals & Hierarchy: The typography used for the site will be Times because it has the old and scholarly feel while also being readable. We will use a decorative serif for the header. Under the header will be a horizontal navigation bar that will have the most important links. There will be a second navigation in a left hand side bar that will break the main navigation’s topics down further. These navigations will use the same typefaces in order to make the viewer categorize them together.
