Teamwork makes the dream work
Client
"Adex"
Objectives
- Group project to demonstrate Storyline capabilities
- Fictional company to demonstrate fidelity to brand standards
Background
Our task was to create a corporate cybersecurity that would be more interesting and engaging than this type of thing usually is. This was my first experience designing in Storyline and a bit of a challenge because I hadn't been able to take the prerequisite intro course! Working with a more experienced designer, I learned as much from our project as I did from the class itself, as well as learning a lot about serving on as the "junior designer" on a team.
The process
The assignment had a number of parameters: it had to include certain types of interactions, it had to include a SME video, it had to follow an imaginary set of brand standards, etc. Once the team had worked out the storyboard, I was in charge of selecting and customizing the images and assets from Adobe Stock, choosing snippets and using Premier Pro to edit both the interview video and stock video with voiceover, and adapting Storyline template slides to do what we wanted them to.
The result
Working side-by-side with a more experienced designer taught me a lot about working with Storyline, in a way that was different than muddling through things on my own. The artificial structure imposed by fake brand standards helped me realize the level of detail necessary to produce a polished product for a corporate client. Meanwhile, the timeline of a semester mimicked the real-life pressure of sticking to a schedule and adjusting the "client" expectations to what was realistic and feasible within the timeframe.
