Project Summary
The main focus of our site, developing the course information aspect of the site for current students, has translated to the actual building of the site in terms of what is accessible in our prototype. Initially we intended to develop a horizontal scrolling aspect to the course map section that could contain all the courses and sort itself in different ways. With the help of several Jquery plugins this was made possible, with some adjustments.

The point of the course map was to enable students to quickly find a suitable course for their schedules. This is rooted in issues that students have with finding courses such as: when they have had to drop a course and need a replacement, or when many of the courses they had wanted to take are full. As students ourselves we have had such problems and hope to solve this with this opportunity to develop a website for the Visual Arts Department.

This prototype shows the main pages for main section of our system map, available here. We have established a consistent format across the pages, but also developed different types of pages to accommodate the needs of select sections of the site. This may mean the difference between a more visual page versus text-based page. In providing a selection of examples within our prototype, we hope to give a more comprehensive experience of what a final site has the potential of doing for the user.

VISA images
Below are a selection of our images taken for use in the website. They were all taken at York, mainly in the Centre for Fine Arts (CFA). There were actually 300+ images taken for this project. The other images are available in the Digital Locker, in Group 4's folder.
