Web Design, UI/UX

In Type III class, we were given to redesign Occupational Outlook Handbook on the Bureau of Labor and Statistic, a government website. The purpose of the redesign this website was to make it efficiently navigable and aesthetically appealing to the viewers. To begin with, I liked the shorten name of Occupational Outlook Handbook, OOH. Since it's a website for searching jobs, I was interested in the aspect for searching with the key words. The original website (https://www.bls.gov/ooh) is very busy and compacted, therefore I wanted to make my design simple and clear in delivering the messages. I chose sky-blue, white, gray, and yellow to not be too intimidating for the viewer to look at. Transferring the web design to an app design was a little challenging but was an exciting experience to explore different navigations and hierarchies.
