Chris Harris artwork is powerful and has a profound impact. Our job was it to convey this impact predominantely with images but also with text and white space. The design of the page was focussed on taking away all elements that could potentially deflect from his work and to showcase his art.
Nora and Karl's beautiful ceramic art called for a simple, yet elegant background to display their vessels, towers and pots in a visually effective fashion.
We decided to let the art speak for itself, and to create a canvas that pointed the viewer's attention towards these beautiful pieces.
Barbra Edwards is a professional artist with roots in Ontario who has settled down on the West Coast. We agreed that a white and simple design would bring out the brilliant colour palette of her artwork the best.
One focus was to stick to a rectangular design throughout the website and make it easy for the visitor to navigate through the site by using clear imagery, menus and colour schemes. On the backend of the site, we paid special attention to easy access and clear and simply handling (optimized user experience), in order to enable Barbra to add new articles and paintings, edit existing ones and organize them on the page with a few simple clicks.
Mary Lottridge was looking for a web presence that allowed her art to take centre stage. One of her major requests was designing her website with the utmost simplicity. We therefore choose to use only the centre part of the screen as her frontpage. Menu and logo are designed to make navigation easy and to not take attention away from her colourful work.
In cooperation with the artist, we made the accent colour choices.
With the help of a very detailed instruction manual that is tailored specifically to her website, Mary is able to create blog entries, make changes to static sites and, most importantly, upload new images to existing galleries and create new galleries independently from a web master.
