Alternative Spring Break

Role

As the Interactive Art Director for this project, our goal was to bring the visitor on a virtual tour of the Alternative Spring Break program at the University of Washington as well as provide info on how they can get involved.

 

Working closely with the members involved in the program, thumbnails for the site experience were created and shared across multiple teams before any design processes had begun. This also helped to flesh out the concepts created in our brain-storming sessions and navigate site flow and iron out all UI/UX.

Initial Design

After approving the thumbnails, our next step was asset collection and design. A small group of videographers, photographers, and writers visited the subjects on site. Utilizing the thumbnails for direction, photos and videos were created as well as gathering info and quotes from those involved in the program.

These assets were then used to design a static version of the site. The design closely mirrors the thumbnails and the addition of the final copy has begun. Once approved, the site was then passed on to the development team to create the interactive version.

Finished Site

Working closely with our developers, the static site was made interactive using our very strict brand and accessibility guidelines. Video portraits were created to bring life to the imagery, as well as other animations to help bring the story to life.

Animated Video

The children involved in the Spring Break program created drawings based on the theme “There’s No Place Like Home.” These drawings were then animated to create a “Day In the Life of Omak” video which helped to showcase these stories in a fun and sharable way.
