This is the logo that I designed for the participatory collective. As the participatory collective is about wanting to help people and being able to let everyone live fullfilling lives, I decided to add two hands in the middle of the logo, reaching out to each other and holding on, like one person is pulling… Continue reading Visual Identity System
High Fidelity Prototype
High fidelity prototype: https://www.figma.com/site/Q4EgITIUWtC8RZzLsPDB4m/high-fidelity-prototype?node-id=0-1&t=nE1bMYmzedtDslj3-1 For my high fidelity prototype, I made a clear navigation system. I used a scroll function on the right-hand side of the web page, like most websites/web pages. I wanted to make it simple so that users with accessibility needs can use the web page as designed. I also made this… Continue reading High Fidelity Prototype
Initial wireframe and layouts
For my homepage, I decided to jump straight into the participatory collectives missions and values, and who they are and what they are trying to do to hopefully get the users attention. I let the user know who the participatory collective are, a little about what they do, what their missions are and what values… Continue reading Initial wireframe and layouts
Figma prototype walkthrough
My figma file – Mid-fidelity Prototype – Figma This is the first page after my home page. I decided to add some members of the participatory collective so that the user can see who’s actually behind the project instead of being left in the unknown and they are more likely to donate/join the mailing list.… Continue reading Figma prototype walkthrough

My users will want to take… Continue reading Call to action strategy

I made sure that people with accessibility needs/concerns can access my website with no problems. I did this by choosing… Continue reading User-centred design decisions
Feedback and iteration
I followed up on some feedback I got for this from some of my peers and improved this early low-fidelity prototype into the mid-fidelity prototype it now is. I changed the layout as this didn’t fit all the information and designs I wanted to include. I also changed the colour scheme as this was too… Continue reading Feedback and iteration
Ethical and sustainable design commentary
I reduced unnecessary content so that I would improve carbon footprint and speed of the website by not adding a load of text, images or pages but still adding all the content that I needed to include to make my website the best it could be. I also avoided gendered language to make my website… Continue reading Ethical and sustainable design commentary
Intro to remind the user of the project concept and goals
For my project, I am creating a website prototype for The Participatory Collective, who are an organisation that want people to come together from the ideas fund and other projects based in Hull so that they can build movement to be able to shift power to enable communities to flourish and grow together.

I am also going to include user engagement into my website, and make sure that it is suitable for those with accessibility needs. I am also going to add stakeholders… Continue reading Outline of my objectives for the upcoming campaign
