Challenges
This project focused on building a dynamic signage system capable of real-time updates for time, weather, news, and menus. A user-friendly admin panel with full CRUD functionality was developed to streamline content management, while the design ensured clarity and brand alignment across dynamic content.
The Deliverable
Enhanced visual appeal with GSAP animations and motion graphics in ad sections. Coded and styled the weather, news, ticker, and emblem panes based on design specs, and implemented PHP for smooth database integration and functionality.
Project Objectives
The Digital Signage project at Durham College delivers real-time updates on time, weather, news, and menus, along with promotional videos. Managed via an admin panel, it follows the college’s brand guidelines with custom icons and a box layout for clean, effective presentation.
The Process
I started by gathering content and creating a detailed layout mockup. Each week focused on building key components—beginning with the logo, then weather icons and date—integrating them step-by-step into the evolving digital signage design.
Tools used
Implemented GSAP animations and motion graphics to enhance ad areas. Coded and styled key components like weather, news, ticker, and emblem panes, ensuring seamless PHP integration with the database.
