CEEDs of Growth
Osentric Studios creates a modern and intuitive graphical user interface for the redeveloped website of the UCLA Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity (CEED). In a five-year collaborative project with other members of the UCLA CEED Website Development Group, the website has been taken from the research-intensive phases of its onset to a fully functional hub for student members and industry representatives alike.
The graphical design itself was completely overhauled multiple times before coming to its current style near the end of the project’s lifecycle. It was vital that the end-users of the website would find value and usability in the services provided. As the underlying programming changed, the design was re-imagined to fully utilize any and all new features. With dynamic content, member accounts, and an event system all streamed from a constantly updated database stored on a dedicated server, the website has evolved leaps and bounds over the previous iterations.
