The Verizon Media Challenge
How you’ll benefit:
You will flex your creative muscles by designing an Internet UX (user experience)
You will learn about wireframing and what goes into designing a website
You will acquire new industry connections
This week is an opportunity for students to design a mashup of their own. Students will redesign a current site, design an entirely new site, and/or integrate a shopping experience that makes it more relevant for students like them. Students will design a new UX (user experience), explore layout / functionality using wireframes, and pitch their ideas to execs.
You’ll present your ideas to mentors on Friday at An Hour of Mentorship. Gain feedback from industry professionals, including leaders at Verizon, on the importance of UX design. Discuss the relevance of the skills acquired on your desired career trajectory.
