After months of work, the web site for Into The Duat. has finally been launched. This is an extension of my long collaboration with Simon Cox and we are now working under the umbrella of Henu Productions with a team of very talented individuals.
From a design perspective, I am pleased to see the site live as it is the culmination of about three years work. While much of the behind-the-scenes elements were designed some time ago, this current version of the site sees all of the ideas I had for the site tied together under a new skin.
The overriding visual element is the Bug in the header. Duat is term for the Egyptian afterlife and while Egypt is not the only topic we will cover on the site, it still remains a strong influence. So, the idea was to try and conjure up a Scarab beetle for the 21st Century.
So, our Scarab, who during the working process has been known as The Bug Who Runs The World, not only provides a modern take on a very old concept, he also sits firmly connected to the heart of the internet, something that is at the core of Into The Duat as we strive to use new technology to bring our content to our viewers.
