Year: 2016
Role: Associate Producer
Products: Website, CMS, Mobile Apps, Digital Interactives
Description: Bluecadet worked closely with the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum to plan, design, and execute a range of products for the museum’s 40th anniversary. A new central Content Management System that integrated with existing Museum systems, including a 60,000 artifact database, created an editorial pipeline that supported a new digital suite of products. The project culminated with the launch of a new website, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and a massive 200-square-foot touch wall that allowed users to explore stories, view the collection, and save items in order to curate their visit.
“Taking more time with the wall reveals thoughtful information architecture and a simple interface.”
