WEB DESIGN & PARALLAX

Nov 28

"In order to prevent his son from going down the same dark path he did, a blind poet must tell his son about his secret life as a mobster.”

"The Hunting Accident" is the true life story of a Chicago gangster who is blinded during a shootout and is sent to Stateville Prison where he learns to navigate life under the tutelage of real life thrill killer Nathan Leopold.”

I was hired as Communications Coordinator to create an online presence in effort to create publicity for an intended publication of the graphic novel, The Hunting Accident. I was tasked to design & build the website for graphic novel, along with building a Kickstarter profile on the global crowdfunding platform.

For the website, I used the software Adobe Muse and Dreamweaver to create the layout, navigation, structure and timing of the parallax effect, and input of all code data.

Our pledge goal on Kickstarter was $18,000 to fully fund a self published hardcover book. We garnered well past our goal and raised over $26,000, and this led the author and illustrator a book deal with Macmillan publishing house.
