NUIG Italian Society website

The NUI Galway Italian Society commissioned Dermot to design a website which would both express the cultural aspects of the society without being clicheed, and also act as a focal point or hub for society activities. As such, Dermot implemented a site using the Drupal Content Management system, allowing users to interact and "buddy up" to organise chats in either Italian or English, while also keeping appraised of society events through the blogs of committee members.

The design of the site had to be expressive, somewhat flamboyant, but also not derivative of stock "Italianate" imagery.

Dermot chose a photo of a bright red Vespa to act as the main motif. The red of the Vespa also provided the key colour highlight for the site.
