WIREFRAMES
A website wireframe, also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint, is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website.

Wireframes

Project Details


Clients: European Commission, Bath & Body Works, AVON, UniCare, Anthem, Ford,
Skill:Wireframe
Project Link: Sample of Wireframes
Release: 2000-2017
In Brief
Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose.

Overall Objective

The purpose is usually being informed by a business objective and a creative idea.

Wireframing is an important step in every web and app screen design process. It allows you to define the flow chart and information hierarchy of website design. It makes it easier for web designer to plan layout according to how you want your users to process the information. If you have yet to use wireframing, it's high time to get your feet wet. Wireframes help to establish relationships between a website's various templates.

As a website designer I personally find it invaluable on small or big projects to have a visual representation of website content, it's hierarchy and layout. Overall it's an excellent step to incorporate into your project before the design process begins for both you and your clients.

Poorly functioning website and a frustrating user experience can damage brand image. A big and expensive website redesigns are often taken to correct those kind of problems.

Adding a wireframes and testing a prototype in your website design process ensures that the redesigned site would not introduce any new error for user.

Understanding how to work with wireframes is the key to creating a success site prototype.

QUEERING FOOTBALL
Tackling Homophobia and Promoting Anti-Discrimination around Major Sport Events

Erasmus + Project

Project Details


Client: European Commission - Erasmus+ Project
Skills: Communications, Event Management (Euro 2016 Pride House PAris), Athlete Liaison, Brand Management, Social Media Management.
Project Link: European Commission Projects
Release: 2016-2017
In Brief
I am currently a member of an Erasmus + project called "Queering Football – Tackling Homophobia and Promoting Anti-Discrimination around Major Sport Events".

As apart of the project I will be involved in setting up a Pride House for the European Football Championships 2016 in Paris this summer. My main responsibilities will be disseminating information across Europe about the project, and working closely with the other partners to ensure the objectives of the project are met on time, within budget and on target for completion at the end of 2017.

Project Objective: Approaches to contain violence and tackle racism and intolerance in sport.
Overall Objective

The overall objective is to raise awareness for a wider recognition of homophobia as a main cross-border threat to the integrity of European sport. The project "Queering Football" aims at using the UEFA EURO 2016 in France as a pan-European networking and communication platform to tackle discrimination and hatred and to establish a more inclusive football and fan culture. Homophobia – prejudices and violence against LGBTIQs1 – is still one of the main and untackled problems in European football. Homophobia like discriminations on other grounds prevents European citizens from participation in sport and in society at large.

Project Design

The project design Queering Football is raising awareness through campaigning, training and networking. The main activities will be implemented at UEFA EURO 2016 in France. A diversity campaign in France reaches its peak with a EuroPrideHouse, a safe and visible space for LGBTIQs and their allies in Paris during UEFA EURO 2016. Training tools and workshops will be developed and held to sensitise the different stakeholders involved with the EURO (staff, fans, sport journalists etc.). Using the democratic power and importance of grassroots initiatives, capacity building and the empowerment of LGBTIQ activists, minority and feminist initiatives as well as football supporters and networking between these groups is a key for the Queering Football project.

Future Prospects

All these anti-discrimination measures in the context of UEFA EURO 2016 serve as an example for upcoming major sport events to ensure that questions of inclusion, equality and minority rights are on the agenda and anti-discrimination activities are not only part, but precondition if a country/ city is going to host a major sport event. One main output of Queering Football is a handbook on fundamental rights and anti-discrimination standards.

Heroes of Football
A European mission to ensure that everyone who loves football or takes part in the game, enjoys it for 100% and can be who they are for 100%.

Erasmus + Project

Project Details


Client: European Commission - Erasmus+ Project
Skills: UI/UX, Digital Content, Brand Management, Social Media Management, Campaign Management.
Project Link: Heroes of Football
Release: 2017
In Brief
Heroes of Football is an Erasmus+ Project which is supported by the European Commission. The project is a European mission to ensure that everyone who loves football or takes part in the game, enjoys it for 100% and can be who they are for 100%. This way everyone can give it the full 100% together with the team. The project organisers contacted me to assist them in multiple areas, from creating the website, managing their online visibility in six languages, and creating regular campaigns for the project.
Excutive Summary & Highlights

The Heroes of Football project is a pan European project with seven consortium partners from The Netherlands, England, Germany, Italy, Belgium and France. The project was selected for the 2016/2017 cycle with a closing conference in October 2017. The project managing organisation was seeking a creative designer with experience in a number of areas in order to bring the project to liffe, and manage the many aspects throughout the lifetime.

A logo had been designed, but no website had been worked on.

The Challenge

The main challenge of this project was to ensure that the website would be the focal point for the project, and to ensure that the many different audiences who would visit the site could find the relevant in formation quickly. The need for a social media presence was also a very important channel to communicate to the target audience. Finally the requirement for multiple campaigns throughout the project lifecycle was needed to inform partners and stakeholders what was happening within the project and the increase the audience engagement.

The Solution

After many meetings at the beginning of the project, the first step in the project was research the needs of the audience. Once this discovery period was completed, the difference personas and scenarios were created. In total there were 13 personas created and these became the target audience which the "Toolkit" was created for. The site was mapped out and low fidelity wireframes were created and tested in all 6 countries. The results were analysed and the building blocks for the site were created. The schedule was split into 3 releases, so to get the project online a quickly as possible.

Once the brand identity was set, the social media platforms needed to be created to support the main site with news items.

A monthly campaign was also set up and created to ensure maximum reach and engagement. The newsletter cycle also included A/B testing of different main news items, and the audience was segmented into 2 main streams.

The Results

The results showed that the main aims for the project were met successfully. The audience was encouraged to sign a pledge, download the VR application, watch the videos that were created by the media partners, and to participate with your own team at a grass roots level to challenge discrimination. Over all the site had just over 1 million hits so far, and the tool kits have been downloaded over 2,350 times ensuring the project team that the message has reached the desired audience and targets. The campaigns continue to be forwarded, and incoming requests from football federations have increased over the past 6 months.

Future Prospects

Support for the project is ongoing and there are discussions with a number of partners to not only continue with the Heroes of Football project, but to open the project to Heroes of Sport. This would include all sports and not just football, however the aim is to keep the Heroes of Football project separate, and football is the final frontier when it comes to inclusion and diversity.
