Press Pack

FINAL PRESS PACK LINK: https://kaye3209.wixsite.com/warsthatburntacity

 In our lesson before the holidays, we looked at press packs and I saw that lots of them were websites. Lots of people last year made theirs using power point slides but I thought maybe after making a website in 502, I could experiment again and try to make a genuine one as a test for the future. 

I used a lot of design choices that I tried to carry through earlier in my project, such as the titles of each section having a 'Lulo clean' font with spacing and lines connecting them - similar to the small words on Grecian urns being very bold and round, san serif and with a LOT of spacing (but mine is easier to read). 

I'm quite happy with all of the fonts I used, as they all looked historical but also the serif fonts which are typically harder to read, are quite close to standard pre-set word fonts people are used to. 

With my animation being quite simple and all one continuous shot, I struggled to find some good stills. So I ended up sending a few people my animation and asking them to screenshot the animation at the most aesthetically pleasing moment. 

Also because of my fairly simple design choices, I didn't have a lot of assets to make the website look as full on the sides. With the website wix having a main viewport for older devices and an extended viewport for computers - I decided to keep all of the key information and nice background assets from the animation in the main box - and then extending the lines in to the outer ones. 

One thing I was happy with was using an old background where the frame and brown urn are combined - and it ended up nicely framing the smaller contact page. Off screen you can see the nice frame, and in the small box frame, it still looks like the rest of the breakers. 

As I'm in a group on my own, I decided to add my voice actor in to my 'meet the team' section. But as this was very last minute and wasn't really discussed, I didn't want to add any personal information about her like with my own Director's one. So I only included information already on her Mandy profile which is already linked below. I was also quite proud that I managed to make my own personal Mandy link button for her contact info. 

WWW

• I think I managed to get all of the necessary information as well as some extra interesting things like the FAQ. 
• I think the aesthetic is very recognisable and matches the poster and the movie
• I'm glad I chose to do the website over the power point, as it allowed for an actual contact box with notifications
• Everything is visible all at once so there aren't tonnes of tabs that you can get lost in - but also its easily accessible by using the scrolling tab. 

EBI

• The mobile phone version of the website was really difficult as it messed up the entire order of the computer browser version. I also think that maybe having the meet the team separate from the press kit itself was a bad idea, but as I'm the only team member, it was easy to put the key information paragraph in to the press kit. 
• If I had more assets to improve the appearance or maybe more team to talk about or awards etc
• I think the pdf script looks a little out of place but also writing it up as text would have looked too much.
