Bambino Art - Children's Photography Website
Bambino Art is a company run by a photographer that specialises in artistic childhood photography, she approached us wanting her images to be shown clearly in a relevant setting. We worked with her to create a logo which described her subject matter using the "B" to symbolise the profile of a pregnant woman.
We created a playful toolbar, complimented by the movement of dandelion seeds. This animation on the homepage consists of an illustrated dandelion whose seeds drift off across the page to take their final place on the logo. On the other pages the dandelion gently sways in the wind, and a few seeds float off the page.
We designed a flash animated gallery with black and white thumbnail images to navigate though it, and added some extra touches by using hand-drawn frame corners and scroll bars. The gallery consisted of four categories which were displayed by a secondary toolbar. The client is able to upload her own images to the gallery and rearrange them as her new photo shoots are completed.
We also added a blog to the site with the same branding, so that she can update the viewer with her latest work and keep the site fresh. She has really taken full advantage of the potential that the blog allows, with large, bold images.
All of these elements come together with a soft colour pallette to act as a showcase for this photographer's work. She documents precious memories of pregnancy, childhood and family time, so it worked well to have a subtle canvas that allowed the photos to speak for themselves.
