Brief 2 // Yoke // Online Presence

As part of the release of the exhibition and opening the submissions to everyone, we wanted to create an online presence. This was vital to get the word out and get others involved that just inside the uni. In order to achieve this we have designed a simple website with a blog, along with twitter and facebook.

Website
For the website we both looked at different ways that it could be designed, but in the end we came together and worked on one idea which we both tweaked in different ways. Eve coded the website whilst I was away on placement. We did have to get some help from other in the group to get it working how we wanted.

Homepage

The home page is the outline of the brief with an introduction of Yoke and our intentions as a duo. The navigation is very simple, to get back to the home page you click on the Yoke 'Y' logo as it is common that most people now click on a logo of a site to get back to the home page.

Contact Page

We decided that having a contact page would be good for people that wanted to get in touch and find out more about the exhibition.

Brief Body copy

Yoke is a duo based in Leeds with an aim to create an exhibition space that spurs dialogue between creatives.

Calling for submissions

Dialogue

The objective is to encourage contributions for a week long, non profit pop up print exhibition and shop that will be held at the Leeds Corn Exchange between March 28th and April 4th 2014. 

The theme of the exhibition is 'dialogue' where each creative will submit a design that will be used in a blind collaboration. Contributors must be open to their submissions being manipulated through the use of print and the match making process, that will pair the two submissions together. This will create a series of screen-printed artworks that will be displayed throughout the running of the exhibition.

Submissions

Yoke welcomes creatives from all creative backgrounds to contribute to the exhibition. We're now ready to start recieving your ideas based around the theme of 'Dialogue'.
