Christie Wu, a concept-driven digital designer, discusses designing for the Mumbai Gallery Association (MGA) and beyond.
Wu and Naomi Shah collaborated on the MGA website, working remotely to create playful, inventive designs.
The MGA website features a clean, easy-to-read layout with bold typography, subtle animations, and bright accent colors.
Wu spearheaded technical aspects of web development, such as working with CSS and JavaScript to create custom shapes on the Mumbai Gallery Weekend site.
The duo focused on ensuring MGA's brand identity remained prominent while highlighting the galleries and artists featured.
The pop-up MGA site features dynamic scrolling animations and vibrant background colors, creating a unique and immersive experience for users.
The website offers a comprehensive database where visitors can virtually browse each gallery's shows, enhancing engagement and accessibility.
Wu and Shah drew inspiration from other contemporary art institutions to create an international, design-forward, and contemporary identity for the MGA website.
The MGA website has expanded awareness of Mumbai's art scene beyond Instagram and generated excitement and engagement on social media.
The project created an accessible, user-friendly repository for all things art in Mumbai, making it a go-to source for local and international visitors alike.
