Bio - First stage - Layout Design

As part of the website creation I was delegated with the task of creating the biography page for the main site which would show pictures of the people included in the exhibition as well as short biographies written by each of those involved. I wanted to make the design clean and bold but also conform to the design of the main site which was achieved by the use of the same background and page title.

The hard part to think about was the way in which to display the pictures and bios on the page so that they could be viewed creatively and have enough room to show each person’s own section.


I found the best way to this was to create in Flash, a focal point to display the images alongside their perspective bio pieces, with an underlining sub-visual of each of the people involved in the exhibition. This way all the images would be visible at all times but also each one could be selected individually. Here is the first mock up of the bio page.















You can also notice the logo change between the designs which was a decision made by the team leaders and in my opinion the new logo works better with the design and is more relevant to our theme.
