When the Colorado Commission on Higher Education upgraded their Mentor® student portal to XAP's new Transitions® model, I was tasked with the redesign of the navigation, refreshing the graphics, incorporating new concepts and sections for client campaigns. Working from some visual content they provided, I expanded upon the colors/themes and introduced the new user role-based identifier buttons.

The modular homepage was designed to make it easy for the client to update the content with seasonal content changes, as well as special campaigns/initiatives. Those frequent updates are handled by a client-facing CMS with assistance at times from XAP's web dev team.
