Challenge
The site had to do two jobs in sequence. First take performer registrations, then pivot into full promotion mode, all while celebrating queer culture without reaching for tired stereotypes.
Solution
We led with the performers and let the content set the tone, using interactive colour transitions, pixel art icons and fresh gradients. A secure API connects the site to the programming team’s event system so listings update in real time.
Outcomes
Hundreds of artists and performers submitted, more than five thousand Brisbanites signed up for the Spencer Tunick project, and it took a Webby Awards Runner-up and a BADC Finalist.
