Road Map Race to the Top — Case Study: Visual Designs
In creating the visual design for this site, we wanted to highlight the three areas that this educational grant will be emphasizing: Start Strong (pre-K through 3rd grade), STEM Strong (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math skills) and Stay Strong (connection from high school to post secondary opportunities and career). Photographic images of students as well as illustrations were included in each design.
Four visual design concepts were considered for this site, with the last one shown here selected for use.

Road Map Race to the Top — Case Study: Wireframes
When creating the wireframes for this project, I focused on how the content would be laid out on the “Home”, “Executive Committee” and “News” pages.
Road Map Race to the Top — Case Study
Winning the The Race to the Top grant was a fantastic experience for the Road Map District Consortium. However, since this was an unexpected ‘win’, a lot of work by many people had to occur over a short period of time to put the proposed plan into action. This website was created under a tight deadline — with only 1 1/2 months from the initial planning meeting to the actual site launch.
I will be covering the design process for this website in my next few posts.
Information Architecture
The Information Architecture for the site went through several phases before the navigation was finalized. When the site launched, it was composed of a home page, seven main pages and several sub-pages. As time goes on, the site will grow with more information about the Road Map Race to the Top grant being added.
