Dramanic

The first project where the deliverable was a working product rather than a piece of media: interface, documentation, and a launch someone else had to run afterwards.

Objective

Dramanic is a platform for the drama industry. Redesigning one is not a design job with a development phase attached, the interface, the build documentation and the launch are the same problem seen from three angles.

The specific difficulty is handover. Whoever runs the platform afterwards has to be able to operate and extend it without the designer in the room.

Creative response

UI and website redesign, development documentation, and launch support.

  • UI and website redesign. The platform's interface, rebuilt
  • Development documentation. Written so the build could be executed and extended by others
  • Launch support. Through to the platform going live

The one that points forward

This is the hinge in the early record. Everything before it is media: a score, an ident, a set of product sounds. Dramanic is the first entry where the deliverable is a working product: an interface, the documentation to build it, and a launch someone else had to run afterwards.

The Build division starts here, twelve years before it had a name.
