Web Design Brief
We need a homepage design for an experience sharing website. The tag line is 'find, promote and share great times!' The homepage should be exciting and innovative and illustrate the values of the site: possibility, freedom and life. It should be fun and personable.
To give you a clearer example, here are a few of the 'great times' users will be sharing on the site:
Club night, warehouse rave or beach gig
Antarctic expedition, Cambodian jungle trek
Cooking and surfing classes
Sumo speed dating
Drag racing and quad biking
Birthday parties, pub crawls and comedy nights
We like the idea of some sort of map or background image from which a few experiences pop up; however we are open to other ideas. The links below should give you an idea of the concept.
