Q: Tell us about your initial moodboard, wireframe, or prototype. How did things change throughout the process?
A: It all started with a series of sketches in a Rhodia N°18 5x5, followed by mockups and prototype development via Google Slides followed by work in Adobe Creative Cloud, followed by creation in WebFlow. The entire workflow has been virtual and comprised of Zoom 1:1s and team meetings where spirited, and often emotional, conversations shed new light on how to plus the ideas. In the end, it has been the community that shaped the creative spirit.
Q: What influenced your chosen technical approach, and how did it go beyond past methods?
A: Visitors to the new National AIDS Memorial web platform are drawn in by the major focus on stories of the pandemic from the past 40 years that show how the face of HIV/AIDS has changed from then to now. The goal is to engage visitors and provide an interactive experience that drives action, engagement, and support for the National AIDS Memorial mission and programs.When did you experience a breakthrough or an "a-ha" moment during this project?
Going deep with this inclusive social justice organization in its vision, organizational practices, programs, and actions triggered many emotions and a strong sense of resilience. The story of AIDS merits a place where the connectedness of the fight against it to other struggles for human rights in our past, present, and future will be made clear, and seen as a vital part of the greater struggle for social justice throughout history.
