The brief
This project was instigated through The Historic Dockyard Chatham. Alongside six collaborating local museums, Chatham wanted to create an engaging website that celebrated the 100 objects that made Kent what it is today.

The initial core aim was to educate teachers on these objects, with feature areas for lesson planning across the different curriculum levels. The site needed to be user friendly, as a lot of the original content was dense and hard to navigate through. Upon finding out that teachers predominantly used their tablets for lesson planning and teaching, this is what I designed for first.

The result
An engaging and fun new website design that showcases the 100 Objects That Made Kent brand in all its glory. Designing for The design focuses in on the UX and user’s needs from the website, ensuring a seamless search and filtering system — regardless of the time a user has to spend on the website. A functional core with a colourful, stylised finish.

The website uses a clean, minimal approach whilst not sacrificing the important content. The white space used allows the images of the objects to be the prime focus. This is coupled with the usage of the category colours and iconography to aid the user on a simple user journey whilst adding brand character. The integration of the logo into key elements of the design bridges the gap between brand and website design, resulting in a harmonious finish.
