Alien Workshop came to us with a tall order. They wanted a website that captured the essence of who they are: totally unique, subversive and out there. It needed to live up to their brand and show off their impressive archive of 20+ years of art, experiments and design.
Alien Workshop’s imagery is awesome on its own, so we decided to make the site clean and minimal to let their content be the feature. We framed the site’s content with a background of Alien Workshop’s own photos and videos, which they can update and change as often as they’d like. We also decided to keep the look of the site pretty cohesive and made three different views—an all-type list view that helps you browse categories, a scrollable and sortable card view that you see when you open a section, and a full-screen view that you see once you’re viewing a particular item.
There’s one section that deviates from this, and it’s our personal favorite. The Black Hole, the amazing image archive, features a floating wall of hundreds of layered images that rotates in 3D space.
Alien Workshop wanted a way for their team riders to easily post updates to the site, so we built a system that pulls content from their YouTube and Twitter feeds and lets them email or text instant updates right from their phones. That constant feed from the team builds a conduit between the riders and the fans. We also made a dealer locator for the site, which works with Google Maps to display the hundreds of dealers who carry their gear across the world, and adding new dealers is as simple as uploading an excel file.
And, similar to Facebook’s "Like" button, the site allows users to "Give a Damn" about news items on the homepage; they can then sort news articles by most popular entries. This site, which is easy for the client to update, works with all mobile devices—and looks super cool to boot—is really out of this world.
