60 Pieces of Gold
Art direction / Interface design / UX / Visual design
The 60 Pieces of Gold was launched as part of the Australian Financial Review’s 60th birthday. The aim was to incentivise their readers to further explore their online and newspaper content.
Everyday a gold coin was hidden in both the newspaper and online. A clue was sent out in accompaniment for the coin hunt. Once a coin was found and safely stored in a coin box, the reader was then rewarded with a golden story.

Interface design / UX / Visual design
For this pitch, the existing Blurb website was deconstructed to develop a more engaging way for users to interact with the content. The challenge was to find a balance of an ecommerce site that catered for a social community.
The art direction was to create a more personalized creative vibe. A place where Blurb bookmakers could inspire each other but also showcase their own work. The UI design was simplified to allow users to navigate through a heavy content site with ease.

First a user must register themselves on the designated ipad app. Results were then displayed live on a display screen and later posted on the campaign site. A camera was set up on top and bottom of the bar to record the position of each attempt.
