I first found out about the National Student Show and Conference (NSSC) by the Dallas Society of Visual Communication last year. I basically love everything about the nature and mission of the conference: “inspiring graphic arts students from across the U.S., enhancing their design education, and preparing them for the real world.” As a graphic design students, I must say the website for the NSSC 18<\/a> by The Matchbox Studio is a true testimony of that mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The National Student Show and Conference focuses on inspiring graphic arts students nationwide, enhancing their education, and preparing them for professional life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The theme “Breakthrough”<\/strong> emphasizes experimental design<\/strong> aspects, prompting the use of interactive technologies for an innovative website experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Functional Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • The website serves various purposes<\/strong> such as ticket purchasing, event calendar, competition submissions, bios of judges and speakers, and location information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Unique Interface Design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Experimentation with animation and scale<\/strong> to infuse unconventional characteristics into standard interface elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Aim to create unexpected<\/strong> interactions with traditional elements to align with the theme of experimentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Innovative Content Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Implementation of physics simulation code<\/strong> into an expandable drawer system for presenting extensive information in the design competition section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Allows users to explore and interact<\/strong> with the content in a unique and engaging manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Mobile Optimization:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Given the primary audience of design students, emphasis placed on flawless functionality across all screen sizes<\/strong>, especially mobile devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Main animation on the home screen designed to be controlled via the gyroscope<\/strong> on mobile devices, adding an interactive touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Embrace Experimentation<\/strong>:<\/strong> with innovative approaches in their designs, inspired by the unconventional interface interactions of the National Student Show and Conference website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Prioritize Functionality:<\/strong> prioritizing functional aspects in design projects, ensuring they effectively serve their purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Innovate Interface Elements:<\/strong> animation and scale creatively into interface designs for engaging user experiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Creative Content Presentation:<\/strong> find inventive ways to present information, like using physics simulation for interactive content exploration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Optimize for Mobile:<\/strong> optimize designs for mobile devices, leveraging features like gyroscope control for added interactivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
