Artyface/Maud Milton Mosaics

For: Maud Milton

Briefs:

  • Create a new corporate identity ‘Maud Milton Mosaics’ to sit alongside the established community facing identity ‘Artyface’.
  • Design and develop a new Wordpress website artyface.co.uk to replace the exisiting outdated site.

Responsibilities:

  • Supply a bold colourful identity, suitable for use across digital and printed material.
  • Advise and implement an appropriate Wordpress theme and site architecture.
  • Brand website and populate with new and existing site content.
  • Source appropriate plugins for features such as image galleries, Instagram feed and contact form.
  • Liaise with website hosts to solve any technical issues.

Outcomes:

  • Having the Maud Milton Mosaics identy sitting alongside the Artyface logo on a single website was deemed confusing for visitors. Both identies were combined, using the colourful ‘mosaic’ graphic, updated Artyface typeface and inclusion of the strapline ‘Making public art work’.
  • The theme Edin was chosen for it’s highly visual elements, and wasn’t a huge departure from the original site layout. The inclusion of a testimonial section was also an important feature.
  • Simple styling was applied across the site to reflect the new identity.
  • Content was imported from the old site, but organised into a more hierarchical navigation structure.
  • The Instagram feed, displaying the most up to date Artyface content was embedded on the news/blog page.
  • To preserve older project galleries, a link to legacy site galleries was included.
