CHALLENGE
9 Evenings 2 was a festival of art, science, and technology in October 2016 that commemorated the anniversary of the 1966 event called 9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering, a project that brought together 10 artists and 30 scientists and engineers from Bell Telephone Laboratories. The group behind the event wanted a phased roll out of their website and its content for an event. I was asked to design the user experience for the first phase that focused on raising $10,000.

PROCESS
I met with the team lead and was given a features document that outlines the phases of the project. The initial launch involved a Splash page with an introduction of the project, a History section and am email sign up.

Phase 1 added an About section and a Donation link to an Indiegogo campaign.

Phase 2 is slated for early spring 2016 and includes a News Page along with brief bios and links for each artist and technologist participating.

Phase 3 happens closer to the event and brings ticket sales, event locations and work-in-progress web pages with artists, technologists and planners commenting on the upcoming event.
