Larissa Behrendt is an award-winning author with a passion for telling the stories of Indigenous Australia. Following the successful launch of Lavarch Productions, Larissa contacted us to design a website to showcase her publications.
We designed the graphic user interface and then converted it to a retina optimised cross browser HTML/CSS responsive website. This was a rather challenging project and something that required us to ‘think outside the square’ as the client requested a french/feminine look/feel. Our initial designs were far from that although in conjunction with Lara we continued to refine the user interface until she was completely satisfied. We managed this by adding floral elements around the headings along with a frilled decorative border below the fixed header panel.
A key feature of this website is the inclusion of a slick ‘app-like’ sliding menu panel. The menu which is supported on both desktop and mobile devices is triggered by tapping/clicking on the top left icon. For those typography lovers the primary paragraph font is ‘Alexandria’, the serif heading type is ‘Lucida Bright’ and the script font is ‘Amazone BT’.
