In my last post I mentioned that Ben Foster’s new site, foster-films.co.uk went live, but I wanted to show some of my design iterations.

These are not exhaustive, but in essence there were 2 design revisions before the final design you see now.

Design 1: Let’s call it the Rainbow design

The Home Page

The Genre Page – a list of films in each genre

The Individual Film Page

Ben did not like this design, I think the Rainbow was a little too distracting and everything else, a little too busy.

Design 2: Big Buttons

The Home Page

The Genre Page – a list of films in each genre

The Individual Film Page

Again, Ben thought there was still better to be found – simplification was the key. From this design I created what you now see today, a site where the films are centre stage without distractions from the interface.

I have to say though, that my favourite was the Rainbow designs. I could have developed that into a great site – maybe I’ll resurrect it for another site…

What do you think?
