Responsive Design Research Presentation

Overview

Part of understanding responsive web design is understanding the current and past landscape of web design. It’s also important that future web designers are able to talk about responsive web design, demonstrate their process and understand key terminology (aka developer talk). For this assignment, you’ll explore one of the following websites and create a presentation to share with the class based in your research.

Directions

Many web designers are open about their processes and have documented them in an article or podcast. Pick a company from below and listen and read the interviews about the responsive project. After doing some quick research, you and a partner will put together a 5-7 minute summary for the class that covers the following in a PowerPoint or Prezi Presentation:

Goals For Going Responsive: Introduce the website and describe the problems were they trying to solve by going responsive?
Redesign Process: What process and technologies did they use to design and develop the website? Was the design done in house or through an outside agency?
Demo: Show the class some representative pages and how they display at different screen sizes. Tell us what you think works well and what could be improved.
Favorite Pattern + Code: Tell us a pattern used on the website that you think is effective any why. Show the code used to create this pattern using the browser’s Inspector tool.

Other than summarizing the questions above, follow the requirements below.

Requirements:

Visuals
At least 10 slides
5-7 Minutes in length
Title slide (Your Name and Company Researched)
