City Arts & Technology High School (2007)

City Arts and Technology High School (2007). This website was designed as a central meeting place for the school community to exchange information related to the day-to-day activities of the school. I integrated several external web services to make it easy for staff to update the website without any web tinkering. It features tributary blog feeds, the school Google Calendar, Flickr photo album, and a Google Docs form. The visual design attempts to communicate the school’s unique balance of formality and academic rigor with openness and community. The color palate subtly expands on Envision Schools’ organizational color scheme and gives an eye-popping effect of modernity and excitement. The logo (top right) was created to visually show the relationship between San Francisco and the wider world that students will soon enter. This website quickly became a model across the organization for their schools’ web strategy.
