NYS Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Site

[PREVIOUS] [GALLERY GUIDE] [NEXT]

My past client, NYS Office of General Service Special Event's Office gave me the opportunity to develop a new site for the 2000 Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Observation. The old site had a tremendous amount of content in very long scrolling pages, and a lot of large images, so my job was to come up with a new design that pared down that content, restructured the information architecture, and relied less on large images. I needed to work within the constraints of a logo which was previously designed elsewhere, and create the look and feel around that logo. In addition, the goal was to create a web site which could be easily updated after the actual celebration, and reused for at least the upcoming year's events.

The design I created has a simple color scheme reflecting the logo, and rollover navigation that remains the same on every page. I worked with their staff to rework the content, and introduced a new hierarchy of information, with smaller chunks of info. All of the graphic elements and pages were created in such a way that future revisions will be simple and cost effective.

The responses to the new site from the Governor's staff has been very positive and it has been a great honor to be able to develop a site for this organization.
