Choosing a UX Based Concept for your CMS

-

User experience (UX) design is the process by which design teams create products that provide users with meaningful and relevant experiences. UX design encompasses the entire process of acquiring and integrating a product, including branding, design, usability, and function.

I want to create a simple website that highlights tourist information on the city of Budapest, giving small tips about where is good to go and where to avoid from firsthand experience after visiting the city.

I hope for the final product to be appealing to my target market while also being simplistic. 

For my CMS website, two UX features I would like to include are the ability to always be able to get back to the homepage from every page and different colors for different sections of my website.

Some examples of good articles I have seen explaining good UX design techniques, and websites I have seen with good visuals and good colors are:

I think I chose to incorporate these UX features because they're simple and not too overwhelming for the people visiting the website. I think that being able to always get back to the homepage from whatever page you're on is a good feature to add as the user won't get lost among the pages of the website and won't feel like leaving the website due to it being complicated to navigate. I also believe having a colorful website attracts users, it makes it more visually appealing for the user and tends to keep them on the site for longer.

How to use colours in web design.

I've never had to implement UX design before in wordpress, so I think by reading a few articles and doing some research I should be able to figure out how to add these features in. One article I've read and found useful is A Designer’s Guide to 8 Basic WordPress UX Elements. 

This article has given me good insights on different UX features I can have in my website on wordpress and how to incorporate them into my website.

This website has also given me a good amount of information on the visual side of UX design and how to bring it into my website to make is as appealing as I want it to be.

(Image Information: personal photo of Me; photo from November 2019.)  My name is Rachael, I'm 19 years old and I was born and raised in Dublin. I'm a year 2 Creative Digital Media student and I have really been enjoying this course so far. One of my favourite modules last semster was Storytelling and Narrative, I really enjoy film and televison and it is something I am interested in for a future career.  Some fun things I did over summer were going on some trips to different counties with my friends, I travelled to Mayo in May with two of my closest friends and then travelled to Armagh in June with a big group of friends, they were both really fun trips. My two favourite TV shows at the moment are Station 19 and The Wilds. My favourite movie that I have seen recently is Dear Evan Hansen, I love musicals so I really enjoyed watching this film. I enjoy mostly all genres of film and TV so I find it easy to find shows and movies that I enjoy. One of my biggest goals for the future

Prototype

Personal Screenshot from my Unity Hub This week I started the prototype on my own game. When I opened up Unity I had no idea where to start, I didn't have much of an idea of how I wanted my scene to look, I just knew I wanted it to have some kind of arcade style to it. To begin, I went into the Unity asset store to see if they had any free assets available that I would be able to use in my game, fortunately they had a lot of assets I will be able to use for my scene. I started out by picking a car that I liked and that fit with my theme and downloaded it and imported it into my Unity. I then looked for some other assets like roads and grass and trees and then added them in to my Unity and created this scene for my game. I have not created any of my scripts yet, I plan to do that for the first playable next week but I am happy with the start I have on my game, I have not run into any difficulties yet, but I suspect that when it comes to coding the game it will become a little bit ha

Game Design Document

   Source This week we had to create our Game Design Documents for our games, after reading about what a game design document was, initially I was very confused as I had never heard of them before, and I then had to figure out what I was going to include in my own and what website I would use to design it. I designed mine on Dundoc. This website was a lot to take in at first, I found it really hard to navigate my way around it and it took me a while to be able to find where I was suppose to be creating my Game Design Document. Eventually I got the hang of it and I was able to create a game design document, I'm still not sure if it is 100% right but I gave it a good go. Game Design Document
