UI Design Choices

As a direct relation to the UI, only User use cases will be presented.

Introduction

You'll find a carousel with several photos automatically switching vertically once you go to the Main Page of the website. The logo and the photos are specifically made for this project and have been taken around CERN. The photos can be accessed from CDS [Accessed on 15.07.2022].

The same carousel can be found on the About Us page as well.

Main Page - Carousel with photos on desktop

The CERN toolbar and the Academic Training header with the search bar and the menu (About, Events, Contact) are permanently visible, even after scrolling.

Main Page - Carousel with photos on smaller screens

On smaller screens (like mobile, tablet), the CERN toolbar and the Academic Training header take another view. The menu collapses into a hamburger icon and the search bar goes below it and the title.

Main Page - Drawer on smaller screens

Upon clicking the hamburger icon, the menu will appear in a drawer.

The Academic Training logo represents an academic hat with the director's cut.
