DIGITAL MEDIA

please contact:
Carlos L. Arcenas
DIGITAL MEDIA EDITOR
0998 556 1680
carcenas@theguidon.com
- How does the website function?

- Is the format, functionality and design appropriate for a news-oriented
website? Given the design of the print edition of the newspaper, is the
user experience and user interface appropriate?
- What are the strengths of the website? What elements of the website
contribute greatly to the user experience?
- What are the current weaknesses of the website? Are there any portions
that need retooling or be removed altogether?
5. Prototype design. As the Digital Media staff will be handling The GUIDONs website and mobile applications, all members will be expected to
have some experience in working with code. Aside from maintaining The
GUIDONs current digital assets, the staff is also expected to create and
maintain additional resources that will be beneficial to certain sectors of
the publication, and possibly even The GUIDON as a whole.
Find a member of The GUIDONs Editorial Board*. Consult him or her on
what their work entails, and his or her anticipated needs for their staff
in the year ahead. Based on what was learned, create a design concept
(e.g. including wireframes, projected capabilities) for a small functional
prototype that addresses a specific need posed by the editor.
The prototype must be designed for either the web, iOS (for iOS 8 or later), or the Android platform (for Kitkat or later, but preferably using the
Material Design standard). As this is just a prototype, polish and sheen
are not required, yet highly appreciated.
Alongside your concept, prepare a maximum two-page brief on your
prototype. This brief must include the editors position, specific need
addressed, the platform used (and any third-party frameworks), and
your rationale explaining the process you took in building this piece of
software.
Further instructions will be provided for delivery of this requirement.
*Please conduct yourself on your best behavior when you are speaking
to an Editorial Board member. Any complaints from any editor regarding
your conduct will be cause for an immediate termination of your application to the Digital Media staff.
6. Sample work. An online link to a portfolio or a collection of works
(such as a Github account or personal website) is preferred. Specify if
projects were accomplished alone or in cooperation with other people,
the languages and technologies used (e.g. if website: JQuery, Bootstrap,
Rails, other frameworks, etc.) and if publicly available (e.g. if website is
easily accessible, if app is available via online distribution, etc).
