Web Design Workshop 2
Green Mind
For the second part of my web design workshop, I worked with a new team on a new project with the theme of activism. With this in mind, my team and I moved into working on a website that would act as an informational resource for anyone looking to learn how to (or get better at) recycling. With global warming on the rise, it would provide local resources as well as broadly educational ones to inform the reader on what's happening and how to help.

As for my role in this Project, I was in charge of the Front End Development of the website, and I worked closely with both the Back-End developers and UI Designers to try and bring out the most attractive and satisfying result for everyone involved using my UX Experience. The main issue we faced along the way, was that the UCF Student Server that we’d be hosting this website on was too old to support React properly. I spent most of my time late into the project adapting our Card/Component design into a PHP/Vanilla CSS design, and still retain the same User Experience.
Green Mind’s concept is to provide national and global updates on climate problems and solutions, while using user inputted location data to provide them with accurate resources to recycle in their area. This of course, is out of the scope of an average school project, so this feature is artificially simulated using Orlando as the users location (this was a project for UCF after all).
Once the user has “provided” their location data, Green Mind will tell the users where and what they can recycle in their area. This can include chains that take a particular kind of waste to recycle, or local government facilities that take more general waste products for recycling. And if the user wants more to be educated before they get involved, they can look at our pages about Climate Change and Who’s to Blame.
