Functionally the Street Gigs web site needed to work very hard - it essentially needed to demonstrate what people were missing if they weren't a part of it. The requirements of the site included the ability for people to sign up to the gigs; informing when and where the next gig was; searchable video of past gigs; in depth information on the artists; prizes; image galleries etc.
It was also vitally important that the site worked in parallel with Transmission, which is a TV show shown on Channel 4, hosted by Steve Jones and Lauren Laverne. Each Street Gig is recorded and played back through the Transmission show and the two websites needed to work side by side with a seamless experience.
The most challenging part of the Street Gigs project was creating an IA that encapsulated a intuitive and logical page flow; linking all the disparate pieces of content that manifested in the form of video, artists, photos, as well as those from it's sister site Transmission. There was a lot of information to bring together and we spent a long time planning this part out before we even though about how the content - in detail - would be visually designed on each page.
Street Gigs is in its third year now and the site is growing form strength to strength as more and more content is available and its profile in the music industry continues to increase.
