This was my first web design focused project in University. In the brief we were assigned different places around the world. The goal was then to create a place brand website communicating the location together with data visualisations. In the start of the project we got to find stories for our locations, choosing which story to focus on while creating our designs, choosing our data and refine our information. I was assigned Port Sudan and I chose the story of export. In this project I got to combine the knowledge of graphic design, web design, code and data visualisation.

I found the process of this project very educative as I was exposed to many new areas of design. The workshops we did regarding data visualisation opened my eyes to the importance of making data engaging and understandable to the wider audience. I had previously used both HTML & CSS but during this project I developed my knowledge deeper to using bootstrap and experimenting with javascript. Looking back at this project I would have developed the visual language further and thought more about sizing of page elements.
