Christopher Wharton Goldsmith - brochure site

www.christopherwharton.co.uk

I had previously worked with Wharton developing their new e-commerce site; now they wanted to revise their brochure site. The first job was to refresh the look of the home page, without abandoning its established identity.

The easiest way to do this was to replace the home page flash animation, thus updating the look without interfering with the header and footer branding and menus. The old home page had an animation based around a single product shot, over a textured background. This time we decided to use the lifestyle shots from the latest collection, on a plain background, which would be more in keeping with the latest brochures and other print materials. I worked with the same flash designer as before; I created the designs, prepared the images, and then passed them to him to create a flash file attached to xml. The xml file made it possible for Wharton to make future changes to be made to the animation if they desired, tweaking the timing or replacing the images, without needing a flash designer.

My involvement

This project was undertaken during my time at a web development agency. The page was designed by me and built in collaboration with flash designer Dom Camus.
