Web & Mobile Design

As Detroit Public Television prepared for a large-scale website redesign, one of my first projects with them involved a potential overhaul of the blogs connected to their two main news and public affairs programs: MiWeek and American Black Journal.

While the framework they were planning to upgrade to greatly simplifies the website building process, it presents an interesting challenge where indivdual components act as pieces to a puzzle that you create as you design. With the similarities between the two programs and the fact that these spaces had to fit into the overall Detroit Public Television site, I aimed to create pages that could present the same type of information, but still be tailored to the programs’ unique visual styles and requirements.

About the Show

American Black Journal is a window into American history. For more than 40 years, American Black Journal has been a vibrant and provocative forum for newsmakers, celebrities and everyday people. Currently hosted by Stephen Henderson, Editorial Page Editor of the Detroit Free Press. The show features topics about arts and culture, and community issues such as politics, race, and religion.

American Black Journal is produced by Daphne Hughes. Hughes is a former News Manager and Producer/Writer at WDIV-TV and Senior Communications Specialist at Mort Crim Communications, Inc. She has produced several television programs, including a half-hour Detroit Public Television show focusing on The Skillman Foundation's "Good Schools in

After setting up potential designs for indivdual shows, I was asked to create a website that would display the content from Detroit Public Television’s major programs and initatives all in one place.

With so much content, information overload was an obvious concern. I wanted to be sure to include all of the major sections for promotion--top stories, recent videos, show specific blog rolls--while still keeping the design clean and managable for its audience.

Originally, Detroit Public Television’s digital team planned to upgrade their website to the latest version of the PBS-provided content management system framework used to build partner station pages. However, after months of researching, finalizing a basic wireframe, and building a few pages, we discovered that the current version of the website builder would not work for all of the station’s needs.

Introducing Plan B: Reworking the updated design ideas into a more complete, older version of the framework. Because of the difference in usability, many of the features that could be implemented with a click in the newer system had to be coded from scratch here, including the image and text layout used for the Channels section, the poster layout for the Local Programs and the secondary navigation for the About pages.

These mockups are the final result of a large scale project focusing on the differences between modernism and post-modernism in website design. Both examples use the same basic framework, while the principles of the two design theories are what inform the individual details.

The first website on the left focuses on clean and open design, with no excess details. The simple color palette is mainly used as an accent and to divide site sections as necessary.

The second example defies expectations with bold lines and more dynamic movement, yet still presents a layout that is easily understood and navigated.

The main goal of this project was to update this dream diary / meditation app with a visual design that was accessible, streamlined, but most importantly, relaxing. Interactive areas are marked with clean buttons and sleek text to keep navigation simple and direct. The pink and purple tone carried through the assets and images represent a dream-like sunset that is designed to fade into night as the user works through the process of setting up the app before bedtime.

“Hi, stranger. It’s been a while. I’ve missed you. I feel like I can really be vulnerable around you. Do you like this tree I made? Cool, right? I thought it was cool. It’s so hard to make things sometimes, you know? It just takes so much mental energy. And I get so tired. I just want to sit here and relax with you. Wow! Check out the sunset. It’s so nice to stop and take this all in. It really makes you enjoy being alive.”

For the logomark, the sun hat shape matches the client’s primary product and the smooth curves of the image are meant to give off a light yet elegant, high fashion feel. I used a darker shade for the front curve of the brim in order to add depth and strengthen the connection between logotype and logomark.

Next to the two-tone hat, I chose a thin typeface to give the pair a clean, minimalistic feel. And to complete the effect, the entire design is two shades of blue, a combination meant to be both cool and serene.

In this poster and sticker set, I brought together colorful images starring young kids and a professional structure to create a design that should appeal to both children and their parents. The imagery shows the child as both a patient and “future doctor,” supporting a long term partnership with the Health System through studies, visits and potential careers.

Ct.Inspired by the colors found on printer test print-outs, this map presents helpful information in a simplifed design. By keeping the layout limited to basic shapes and lines, the emphasis is placed on the most important information--printer location and type--rather than building shapes and more specific land details. The more specialized printers are marked with the brighter colors of the palette, making them more noticable, while avoiding oversaturation that might detract from the overall design.
