~Pablos Art Studio
~ Pablos's aim is to build confidence and support personal growth and independence through individual artistic development and challenges and promote "outsider art" and the scope of the community. To enable and provide the chance for people to portray their artistic skills/abilities and to be apart of a group/organization.
~ Pablos art studio has asked us to improve their current website by: updating it, make it more user-friendly and manageable, allow users to contribute to concepts, opportunities to make a donation and possibly download a image from some of the artist work for their own desktop, provide the chance to receive feedback/comments/forum etc, online gallery for work to be shown, archive to store work and to establish a community and connection point for those within and outside of Pablos Art Studio.
As a lesser goal, (basically if time is available) they would like us to possibly provide an online progressive and interactive art project that develops over time and allows memberships where people can become "art angels" to help out amongst the group and make donations etc etc. Also possibly a promotional video and maybe update and improve their current logo.
~ We need to be aware of the sensitivity of the artists by making sure they feel comfortable and are aware of everything that is going go around them and onto the internet.
- Resources to maintain ability of making donations online.
- Keeping the site easy to manage for the organization as the site will be regularly updated as new work is produced.
~ Pablos Art Studio target audience is largely people involved in the Pablos Community or whom are aware or interested in the artistic work that is being produced at the studio.
~ To resolve these problems, largely maintaining the website issue, we propose to create a site that is very front end user friendly. To achieve this we provide and develop all the necessary structure and coding involved in the back end work so that they have a site that can easily be updated from the front end to be developed. At present thinking of using CMS tools such as Silverstripe where we can achieve and design a very community based feel.
~ Our design approach is to develop a site map first to show Pablos Art Studio so they can gather an understanding of how together we invision the site, to build a strong relationship with our community group and to gather constant feed back and opinions from our organization. Largely our required elements for achieving this is to have a domain or host provider (as Pablos already does), learn required coding that will be required to enable the ability to make donations etc and access to computers which all of us have. Pablos Art Studio has asked us to keep the site simple, sustainable, to show that they are a real art studio, provide information in may forms to others and importantly to keep the "outsider art" aesthetic or style (being fun, movement, life, vibrant) that they currently have at their studio.
~ Pablos Art Studio is going to gather current photos, video and any other media files that may be of use to use and source on the website. To provide any other necessary information that will go onto the website and constant feedback and communication with the meta group.
- Team Meta intend to achieve all the required goals asked by Pablos Art Studio, most importantly the website requirements and if able to the lesser goals suggested by both parties.
~ Technology that will be used during this project will be camera's, video camera's and computers with largely adobe and CMS software.
~ Timline and dates - TBA
~ Proposed structure - TBA
