Finalised homepage.


Experimenting with different homepage layouts.











The last one is my favourite, although I like the coloured ones too, I just prefer to keep it plain and simple.

Web Design.

I want to keep the Popular Peace website as simple as possible.

The homepage will contain the following links:
-HOME
-ABOUT
-RESEARCH
-COUNTRIES
-CONTACT

Layout:


I decided to use lyrics from John Lennon's song 'Imagine' as I thought it would make a good motto for the company and what they are about.

Finalised logo.

Experimentation.

I took a photograph of myself giving the 'Peace' sign and then edited it and experimented with it using PhotoShop.

pro:four. Popular Peace.

The Brief: 


Create a brand identity solution for a platform website that accumulates and disseminates research data to be gathered from post-conflict countries specifically concerned with what the population would prioritise for peace if it were given the choice.
The website will act as a research source for peace building scholars and policy makers. The idea involves the ‘civilizing’ of peace building around genuinely democratic processes – rather than just holding elections and then leaving it to chance and charity. Elections are just a technical processes. approach assumes a deeper approach to the social reality of millions of extremely vulnerable people. It presumes that the people in post conflict spaces have to be heard in order for them to participate meaningfully. The website communicates their priorities to the outside world so they might provide what people want, rather than what we believe they should have.
