Web Design Brief
We need a website designed for a PR + Marketing Campaign (Ideas Powered: It's What We Do) for the Texas Library Association (TLA), the largest statewide library association in the country.
The final design should communicate an empowerment to libraries, its innovative practices, and how they are helping and improving the lives of all communities (of all ages, backgrounds, experiences).
The look should be bold, captivating; meanwhile also simple, clean, easy-to-navigate.
LAYOUT (five pages total):

Broad Objectives and Goals
Ideas Powered: It’s What We Do seeks to broaden the awareness of library services to the public and provide resources to librarians working in the state in order to promote libraries as vital, technology-centered institutions in the community.
The campaign provides a platform for the sharing of ideas and resources that strengthen the image of the library profession and the services provided by libraries in Texas.
Related goals include: providing librarians with the tools necessary to influence key supporters, shifting the perspectives of libraries as a center for books to a center for emerging technology and the cultivation of ideas, and spreading the message of the campaign through both traditional and social media outlets.
Librarians and information professionals are encouraged to actively participate in the campaign through social media outlets, using the hashtag #poweredlibraries, and by contributing content in the Ideas Shared portion of the campaign website.
