Project Description:

This project has been part of an initiative to align the world of design with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The purpose of the platform is to create a hub for all types of designers to learn about sustainable design and contribute their work to the global community. Our diverse team of students has worked hard to tackle this project in a short time from multiple angles. The UX team has worked on understanding the client’s goals, wireframing out the website through multiple iterations, and ultimately creating the final structure of the site. The design team has crafted the visual design of the website, which includes branding, colors, iconography, photography, and other visual elements that went on the site. The development team was responsible for setting up the WordPress environment and supporting both the UX and design teams in transforming the site design into a live website prototype. This project will become an important part of WDO and will evolve to become a go-to online space for sustainability resources and content within the design space.
