In July of 2010 I was approached by indie alt-pop band Ra Ra Riot to give a fresh look to their website in anticipation of thier new release The Orchard.
It seemed clear that Ra Ra Riot’s audience are people who would appreciate something unique even if the information they came for was still one more click away. With that in mind I departed from the overly blog-like feel for the home page. The simplicity of the album artwork was a springboard for the graphic treatment which carried over the albums visual experience, implementing straight lines, transparency, stark photography, simple texture and strong solid colors to organize and entice. The site was built with XHTML & CSS and implements WordPress for content management. (view site)
