Introduction
We have a long-term partnership with John Hansard Gallery, so when they asked us to help bring to life an inspiring project like Co-Creating Public Space, we jumped at the opportunity. To make this happen we collaborated with the brilliant Daly & Lyon to translate their vision for the visual identity into a worthy digital experience.
Brief
The brief was simple, but the execution was intricate. Through our collaboration with Daly & Lyon, we needed to pay close attention to each detail of the design and obsess over the pixels to realise the vision and make sure the web experience delivered a subtle impact to inspire people to get involved with this important project.
The Build
With beautifully minimalist designs like this, it’s important to make use of micro-animations to introduce movement and breathe life into the digital experience. Nothing fancy or complicated, but everything is intentional and by design.
Responsive
It’s a given these days that websites need to work across a range of devices and screen sizes, and this project was no exception. We wanted the website to come to life in a surprising way by making the location icons grow as the user scrolls down the page which is really impactful on a smaller screen.
