Web Design Brief
We need a design for a web page which presents visitors with the following features:
- Google map view of movie locations plotted around the world
- Simple map markers matching theme of web site
- Call out of location on map depicting movie showbox (carousel), and basic movie information (name, year, rating, website, imdb link), and a thumbnail view of select pictures of location)
- Section for visitors to search for movies
- Section for visitors to select recently added movies
- Section for visitors to enter a city
Completely open to designs and color. However looking for an innovative and creative design and not the "standard" google map views. Here are a few sites which are appealing:
www.foursquare.com
http://mobile.org/activity_finder (especially like nav at bottom)
http://www.livingstreets.org.uk/?postcode=10001 (while it does not present a map, the usage of big font and colorful "signs" is good)
http://www.google.com/insidesearch/landing/oscars.html (scroll down to map, nice map marker)
http://theartaround.us/map (nice layout)
http://maptal.es/tales/15#step1 (nice shadowing)

Hello,
Really hoping that additional designers will submit. To help you all differentiate you self here are a few other comments:
- Usage of non-standard styled map tiles is highly suggested. However, the map tiles used must be easily translated into build.
- The searching function is very important and key to the landing page experience. Thus far the submissions have been fairly standard in how to manage searching, really hoping for different ideas / concepts on how to present
- For colors, do not go completely dark.
- The callout upon clicking the map marker needs to be clean, but visually appealing. In addition while the content is fairly straight forward now, it may grow in the future and thus this should be scalable
- We are also going to be including a "featured movies" and featured cities section on the landing page experience. Please take this into account. The feature movie section will consist of movie showboxes / names while the featured cities section has city names. This could be an extension of the search function.
