Winning Project: Resolution Graduate Exhibition Website
School: York University, Toronto, ON; Educator Support: Marija Bacic
The Resolution Graduate Exhibition website engages design professionals and prospective employers in Toronto. It aims to create a distinctive digital presence for the exhibition and showcase the team's expertise in intentional design and execution. Key features of the project include a custom game and an animated landing page inspired by the brand identity. Motion plays a central role, with an animated bitmap effect enhancing the landing page. The graduates' page highlights each profile with hover effects and stop-motion animations. To build anticipation, the website launches with a countdown to the event and evolves into a detailed resource as the exhibition date approaches
