Communication Collective Project

The Communication Collective is a communications student group that is dedicated to providing an extracurricular group for communications students to meet.

The purpose of the project is:
•To promote the student chapter
•To engage and attract members
•To inform the public about events and provide information to future students
•To work as a learning tool for student content and web creators
•To gather data

Project Timeline
The project took 14 weeks to complete and involved-
•Compiling research into a brief, so the client was able to choose a design direction and a content strategy
•Producing design concepts
•Testing the website for usability, accessibility and SEO
•Developing the website and a custom theme in WordPress
•Client sign-off and website launch

Client Testimonial
It was a pleasure to work with the UX and WordPress design student team (Sean, Treyden, Adria and Jiabin) on the new website for The Communications Collective.

From the outset, the team’s communication was extremely professional, setting clear expectations regarding timelines, commitment, and production. They were also very patient with my limited availability!

I was particularly impressed with the level of detail and creative work that each of the students put into their individual concept designs, and I was not expecting to have such a high standard of work produced and presented at this level. It was hard to decide on the final design, as I would have been happy with any of the four.

Throughout my industry career, I have worked with many designers and web development teams and frankly, my experience with the GRD338 team was certainly among the best.

I am excited for the new Communication Collective website to be live and relish the symbiosis that our creative media students were involved in the creation of this website with and for our communication students.

I wish Sean, Trey, Adria and Jiabin the very best in their future web design careers – and I have no doubt they will be extremely successful in their pursuits.

With thanks,
