Mock App. Design: Design Thinking Group Project
The problem: Too much traffic on UF campus in Turlington Plaza due to tablers.
Solution: An app that distributes organization’s ads and rewards students for looking at the ads.
I worked with two classmates to create a solution to a problem we found on campus. First, we thought about the wide myriad of campus problems. Then we interviewed fellow students about how they felt when they walked through the crowded area of Turlington during the day. Our research led us to find that most people were annoyed with tablers (those who hand out flyers). After a long brainstorming session and many days observing the space we decided the most logical solution would be to create an application that could replace or reduce the number of tablers. This app would also help keep students informed about what was going on campus and give them rewards for checking out the events and announcements on the app. UF2GO would also allow students to keep up to date on what’s happening in the organizations they are a part of. Additionally, students would also be able to message people in their organizations and classes directly through the app.
Hand Coded Web Design
This was one of my first websites completely coded by hand! Can you tell I’m kind of a coffee lover?
Album Redesign: Of Monsters and Men
This piece was completed as a class project. The assignment was to open your iTunes, turn on your shuffle and play the fifth song on the playlist. Students were then asked to create a new album cover for that band in under 45 minutes.

MonkeyWish.com/give
This was another class assignment. We were to choose a business or organization and create a promo piece. My client was MonkeyWish.com/Give. They are an organization that has a service for nonprofits to create wish lists to help nonprofit organizations receive the actual items that they need instead of receiving cash donations. Users can log on and create a wish list from an iPhone, iPad, Android or a regular computer browser. I decided to create an iPhone brochure with a small amount of information and feature common questions and answers about MonkeyWish.com/give. I kept the design simple, as most iOs 7 programming is these days. MonkeyWish.com/give is easily accessible through mobile and that is the main reason I chose to present the information in this fashion. Additionally, MonkeyWish.com/give is about changing the world through giving gifts and that is why the brochure would be delivered to other nonprofit organizations through a wrapped present.
TM BRAND
TM. No –- I’m not talking about the trademark or the initials from HIMYM. I’m talking about myself, Tova Miller. I am a 22-year-old recent journalism graduate from the University of Florida. This sleek design was created to show my professional manner accented with a pop of color and personality. I am a music-loving, dance around the room, go to concerts type of gal. But for me that is not where the excitement begins. Branding and content strategy are my go to talents. Most importantly, I think that everyone and everything has a story that deserves to be told.
Study Abroad Poster Project
Thanksgivikah Greetings
This graphic design assignment was to create a greeting card for whatever occasion you wanted in less than 30 minutes.
Website Redesign
This redesign was completed for my final JOU3411 project. I decided to redesign the website the Upside of Down, a site created to increase awareness of Down Syndrome. I truly believe in the mission of this organization and therefore chose to redesign its website to make its messages and mission more effective. The first image is the original design of http://www.upsideofdown.org.
First and foremost I decided to streamline the overall design. I chose to keep scrolling photos on the homepage, but instead of just having scrolling photos, the large photo also has a messages about upcoming events or items for sale in the site store. Below the main photo is a set of six photos (if you were to scroll down you would be able to see the rest) these boxes would be connected to a Flickr or photo account and would display photos from past events. In addition, I decided to cut down the navigation tabs to four main tabs. This will make finding information a bit easier for new visitors. In addition the store, blog and donate navigation buttons at the top of the page will be fixed on the top of each and every page for easy access.
*** This redesign was done for educational purposes and was never officially created for the web.
Magazine Layout
For this assignment I was assigned an article and was asked to create the layout for the piece. I wanted to design a spread that really played off of the main ideas of the article. Therefore, I decided to really utilize the idea of measurement. I added tick marks on the top of the page to create a sense of space.
Additionally, the article talks about how measuring the distance of the smell of peanut butter can help to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. When thinking of Alzheimer, many people think of the elderly and that is why I decided to feature a photo of my grandparents at a birthday party.
