OUGD603 Brief 6: Research

In terms of style for the website are looking for something really clean. Lots of space (doesn’t necessarily have to be white where the photos of speakers/ descriptions speak for themselves (versus having to compete with the background). This is probably more a typography play rather than graphics.

Here are some other events that have happened in London recently and some thoughts on their websites:

http://www.creativeequals.org/events/2018/3/12/r57sb0382dglojr593431ckl3g9mk2  too cluttered/ hard to read over photos and not enough visuals/ info about the speakers

https://offf.london:  too busy

https://www.itsnicethat.com/here-london I like how clearly presented the speakers are and how everything fits on the same page..but not crazy about the header design.

https://www.itsnicethat.com/here-london I like the branding for this and how it’s quite clean (though they’ve made the page a bit cluttered). They let the photos sort of speak for themselves. I also like the logo and how that arrow shape could potentially be used across the different assets.

https://themeat.in/ I don’t love the branding because it looks a bit childish but I do like the one page layout

http://www.designconference.org/ Not enough photos but this is a pretty good layout and doesn’t feel cluttered

Other inspiration:  http://www.dazeddigital.com/ They are the media sponsor and I like the space, clean fonts, photos can speak for themselves, etc
