We will be redesigning the Truman State University Student Life page. As Truman students for almost three years now, we feel that the current Student Life page does not do the campus or the town of Kirksville justice and does not provide prospective students with easy access to everything that Truman can offer them outside of classes.
Our goal is to create a Student Life page for high school juniors and seniors who are trying to decide where to go to college. A big determining factor for most students when deciding on a college is not only what type of education they will be getting but what type of services and activities the campus and town can provide. We have simplified the content from the old page by reducing the original eight catagories to four simpler catagories: Fun, Living, Places and Services. This will provide quick access to the four main pages and then up to two or three links from each of those pages that will lead the viewer to more detailed information if they so desire.
The overall design is simpler and cleaner than the original and uses more effective imagery. Each of the four main pages will feature one large black and white image that is relevant to the content on that page. The color palette is limited to the classic Truman purple, black, white and cream. The original Truman logo along with the traditional Truman fonts, Trajan Pro and Adobe Garamond Pro are used to maintain consistency with the original Truman site.
Ultimately, our goal is to promote Truman as more than an opportunity for a great education but a place where you can meet new people, experience new and exciting things and prepare yourself for a successful future while having fun!
Just finished the quick little CSS recolour. Slicing new images is a pain, but it's still the most stable way to do rich typography.
