From January 27th through April 8th, three students, Sarah Boucher, William Feng and Celina Respall from Centennial College New Media and University of Toronto/Centennial College Joint New Media programs paired with ArtBridges/ToileDesArts for their client project.

Their goal was to examine the ArtBridges/ToileDesArts network and find ways to make our website and blog more user friendly. They prepared navigation maps for the website and blog, the website wireframe and prototype and design layouts. Altogether, they contributed 240 volunteer hours!

The students presented their work to their class and professors on Wednesday, March 30th at Centennial College.

This in-kind project is valued at $5,000!

Over the next few months, ArtBridges/ToileDesArts will be working with their final project and adapting it for use. We are working towards building a fully interactive website, which has been in our strategic plan from day one! Until then, the free social networks – wordpress, google map, facebook and twitter work well to communicate.

Many thanks, Sarah Boucher, Celina Respall and William Feng for your stellar creativity, problem solving and attention to details! Thanks also to Professor and Program Coordinator Marie José Crête for selecting ArtBridges/ToileDesArts as a client for your students!
