Let the Music Play Games
Let The Music Play Games is a European project that bridges the worlds of music and video games, fostering collaboration between composers and indie game studios. The visual identity I designed aims to combine the playful aspect of video games with a musical and rhythmic imagery given by the repetition of the geometric shape of the circle. The palette also recalls the vintage world of video games, deliberately avoiding a too direct connection with today's technology.
The main typeface, Fat Albert BT, is a very characterized one. The geometric shape of the repeating circles takes the counter from the letter P. As a result, all graphics consistently echo geometric and rounded shapes in a combinations of patterns and overlays. I designed the website and the graphic templates for social media combining the logo and the monogram, the circle patterns and this nostalgic 5-color palette, with a secondary sans serif font to facilitate legibility for descriptive texts.
The website is online at letthemusicplaygames.eu
The website consists of five pages always visible from the header menu. The website is very colorful but designed to be as accessible as possible with a concern for contrasts and readability: titles and bigger text in red, descriptive long text in black. Icons and buttons were also designed as part of the website and the whole visual identity.
Firstly, the homepage has an introduction to the project, the main news and the identity values. About, deeply explains the project and present the European partners. News i linked to the single news page and presents all the news chronologically. Agenda, where you can see all upcoming and past events around Europe and and display them with filters by date or topic, presents also the redirection to the external event page through the Participate button. In Resources you can consult and download all the institutional documents and reports regarding the project.
Below, some details of the website design such as the opening screen of each page, an accordion on the about page to tell about the partners, and the footer with partner logos, social media links, and contact emails, events display in Agenda.
