Assignment Brief Two

Brief: Artist/Arts Organisation Website
Design and build a artist / arts organisation website. A site which acts as a promotional website for an individual/organisation and which will increase both profile and online traffic for the client.
The choice of artist is wide and could include musician, craftsperson, writer etc etc. These must be real individuals either known to the designer or if not known then with sufficient background material available (on or offline) to make an effective ‘mock’ website (not historical or dead artists!). They can be real ‘live’ commissions if available.

For this project i have chosen Modern Toss as my artist/artist organisation. Modern Toss is created by Mick Bunnage and Jon Link. Originally Modern Toss started off as a series of cartoon booklets and books aimed at adults they also feature quiet regulary as a comic in the Gurdian, and recently they designed the cover for the Gurdian tv times pieces doing the cover and serveral other images inside to promote the live episode of Eastenders for some annerversry or something.


There biggest fame came when channel 4 commissioned two television series of a comedy sketch show of the Modern Toss featuring characters which appeared in the books and comics. The cartoons feature low-quality drawing, offensive language, violence, and satire of mundane life.


The reasons for choosing Modern Toss, well for one i like the show and always laugh at the cartoons. A better reason for choosing Modern Toss is they currently do not have a website set up. The creators have a blog set up and twitter feed and all that but they do not have a website which is can showcases there animations and creations. I would like to design a website to showcase their creations and solely focus on promoting Modern Toss.

Modern Toss is ace. It started out as a series of comics, some of which were later compiled into proper books and finally culminating in the production of 2 series' of televisual crudeness. The drawings are shit, the animation is sketchy, the subject matter's mundane and the language is extremely offensive - perfect.
