Harvard Press Centennial
Designer Kit Casey and I worked with Karen Pelaez and Stephanie Vyce from the Harvard University Press to design a celebration website for the Press’ 100-year anniversary. Karen wanted to showcase 100 shareable books from the Press’ catalog in an interactive format.
We decided to design a virtual birthday cake, with each of the 100 candles representing a single book from the catalog that visitors can share using AddThis. As the days got closer to the 100-year date, the candles on the cake lit up, and visitors could click on a candle to see the book details. Visitors were able to save lists to their own libraries that could then be shared via AddThis to other platforms. Developed on WordPress with a special mobile-friendly layout for modern phones, the centennial cake is consumable on all devices.
Also: WordPress, HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, Sass, Social Media APIs.
WordPress hosts an interactive birthday cake whose 100 candles represent books from Harvard University Press. JavaScript controls the approaching-anniversary reveal and book exploration, while AddThis lets visitors share titles and personal reading libraries. A dedicated mobile layout brings the same catalog experience to smaller screens.
Also: Higher Education, Book Publishing, Education, Media + Publishing, Mission-Driven.
Higher education encompasses colleges, universities, and affiliated institutions providing advanced study, research, and professional preparation. My work includes campus resources, university arts programs, academic publishing initiatives, and student literary journals.
Also: Web Development, Interaction Design, Web Application Development.
Kit Casey and I turned a centennial book selection into a playful digital celebration. I developed the interactive cake, book details, personal libraries, and sharing experience, translating the anniversary concept into an application visitors could explore on both phones and desktop computers.
Talented, efficient, and innovative: A Bad Penny Review couldn’t be any happier with our site or with our experience. Highly recommended.
