Creative Brief

Our website owes much of its inspiration to the J.K.Rowling official site. The main menu for the J.K.Rowling site is given on a desktop with lots of stuff splashed all over the place. As you move your cursor over the objects, some will turn into Portkeys (enchanted objects) that will transport you to other areas of the site. There are some sections which will appear on top of the desktop and some other sections which will go to separate pages. Admittedly, the site design is a little busy, but for a busy site, it was done very well, featuring incredible graphics, delightful flash animations, and a lot of tricks and surprises.

The J.K.Rowling site has given us the experiences that shaped our design ideas. Our site will also have a kind of look and feel somewhat similar to, but not the same as, the website of the author of the famous Harry Potter books.
