Zesst

The Brief

Each group will present itself via a live website as an independent media company or digital arts agency/organisation. Whatever form it takes, each group must ‘sell’ its products or services by demonstrating its professionalism and excellence through superior web content and effective marketing, such that it will immediately attract and impress any potential client or visitor to the site. The information presented must be based as far as possible upon actuality, so that you are really demonstrating the combined skills of the members of your group. You should research as many existing sites as possible, in order to find inspiration and guidance for your own site. You will be expected to reference these sources and any other books/journals/materials and incorporate them in a webography to accompany your site, with annotations explaining why you were drawn to these sites.

Solution

Working in a group of five we designed and produced a flash website for our spoof company called Zesst. We all had different roles and tasks to complete. We had to present our site and company to the rest of the year in the form of a pitch like you would in industry. We all had amazing ideas but i felt like things werent organised very well which lead to the site not being complete in some places. I think if we had pulled it together a bit better near the end this could of been an amazing site and it has great potential.
