Introduction/Roles/Notes: Jan/22/2010

Who we are:
Our team consists of two Graphic Design majors (Ben Byers, and Chris Fraver) and two Digital Art Majors (Josh Trieber, and Kyle O'Brien). We are part of a combined class at BGSU's Art Program, wherein we are assigned a real world project from an actual established and respected community of artists. To celebrate this momentousness occasion we christen ourselves, Team Optimus Prime.

Our Roles:
Ben Byers - Team Lead, Head Coder
Chris Fraver - Designer
Josh Trieber - Designer
Kyle O'Brien - Coder, Secretary

Our Goal:
To redesign the ISEA - http://www.isea-web.org/ - website for ease of use and an eye catching design.

Notes from the meeting on Jan/22/2010:

Worked on our new Site Map design

Talk to Bonnie about current website and to get hold of the previous web designers for their input.

Ben is setting up a date and time for us to meet with the director of the project from the ISEA
Talk to the Director about the possibility of a new ISEA logo
Talk to the Director about a completely new design aesthetic for the ISEA website.

Exploring the possibility of redesigning the Flash Archive.

We noticed numerous pages that contained the same information found at different locations on the site. Often times confusing the user and complicating their navigation of the site. We plan on removing the repetition of information, and simplifying the navigation of the site.
No sub-menus
New contact methods/page
