WWW.ASTROGATE.EU
Is live!
Landing Page
Simplistic yet intriguing graphics featuring Astrogate's bold logo, when user hovers over the image they are directed to click 'explore'. Using the word explore implies they idea of exploration into another dimension.
Home Page
In my project proposal I had implied that this page would present imagery placed inside frames, the user would then select which frame they wanted to pass through to discover the visuals that lie beneath. After designing the logo from Astrogate I felt this look was not very coherent and I wanted to displaying a consistency throughout the exhibition. Throughout the rest of the exhibition a 'home' button is displayed, this will bring the user back to this page allowing them to explore the rest of the imagery and access the information and contact areas.
Information Page
This part of the exhibition gives the viewer a brief overview of what the rest of the exhibition is about, much like what you would see at the beginning of a physical exhibition. Although it is important to give the viewer control of what they think of the visual imagery it is also essential to communicate what you where trying to communicate throughout.
It had been suggested that on this page I place an image of myself as well as more about what I do as a general creative. I decided to go against this after speaking to another of my lectures who outlined the fact that this site is designed to be an exhibition - not a portfolio. I want my audience to focus on the visuals throughout rather than me as a creative.
Contact Page
This page is designed to enable other professionals to contact me in regards to the possibility of feature work or collaborations. I have also added a link to my portfolio page (still under construction) that will in a few weeks allow my audience access to the rest of my portfolio of work.
