In design school, students often learn to design for print before they approach digital projects. As a result, their digital work can feel like an adaptation — or even a compromise — of designs originally intended for print. I asked my students to rethink this process: What makes a website fundamentally different from print media, and how can those differences be used in meaningful ways? In other words, what sets a website apart from a book? What can you code for the screen that you can’t design for paper? Every student took the prompt in their own direction, creating work that connected to their personal interests and style.
