National Steinbeck Center
Web Design


Challenge:
Presented with a massive amount of content and an explorative and unique design by designer Lori Hughes. The challenge was to efficently build this website from scratch and add character and value to the designers basic idea.

The interface on the website posed an interesting challenge. The user needed to get anywhere in this massive tribute to author John Steinbeck within one or two clicks.

Solution:
The interface was built using web animation software. It's designed to be semi-intelligent in that it interacts with the pages being viewed to know where the user is located in the site. Allowing it to update itself to reflect the users location.

Each section of the site has unique animations that are built with various images and specific color codes that remain consistant with the designer's concept.
