RIT releases school-related news through the "University News" website. University News recently reskinned their website. Here below is the before and after view of the reskin. However, even the new design needs more visuals to pair with text and clear indicators for grouping content. Because of the lack of content and structure in design, the website doesn't perceive to be professional which loses credibility.
Below on the left, is my initial attempt on redesigning University News. My first attempt targets the lack of content in the original design, but it lacks in consistency and the arrangement of the content could be confusing. Without the subtle shadows, the design feels flat and unclickable. The weakest sections are "Upcoming Events" and "Athletics." The horizontal movement of the events doesn't fit with the vertical scrolling of the website. The required clicking may disrupt the flow of the user scanning through the website from up to down.
