For this project I first met with Stacy and was briefed about the site, the needed functionality, and the target user. Here are my notes!
Arts Portal https://artsportal.la.utexas.edu/
Mockups needed:
Home/cards
- remove blue date badge
- date should be almost same size as event name
- facebook event card-esque
- hover effects
Event page (top priority)
- standardize image size
- banner image?
Nav
- menu : blue bg
- logo: just black box, same line as menu?

Stacy’s initial site design utilized the same card style as the NowPlayingAustin site; this is because the clients wanted the site to be modeled after it.
